Objective: To investigate the specific blockage effect of individual antisense RNA on mutant p53 gene in vitro.Methods: The single strand antisense transcription system containing mt-p53 exon 8 sequence (pGEM3zf(+/-)p53exon8)was constructed. The ligation of antisense RNA with mt-p53 gene was confirmed by in situ hybridization; MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells were transfected with ASp53exon8'RNA eationic liposome-mediated. Expression of mt-p53 protein was examined by immunocytochemical staining and Western blot. Cell proliferation was evaluated by MTT assay; Cell cycle distribution was determined by flow cytometry (FCM); Apoptosis was observed by TUNEL. Results: In transfected MDA-MB-231cells, hybridization signals were observed in cytoplasm. ASp53exon8'RNA transfection induced inhibition of cell proliferation,G2/M phase arrest and increasing apoptotic rates. In addition, expression of p53 protein was down-regulated. Conclusion:pGEM3zf(+/-)p53exon8 was well constructed and ASp53exon8'RNA can block mt-p53 gene expression specifically and then inhibit MDA-MB-231 cell proliferation in vitro, which may serve as therapeutic means for human malignancy.
