| Research Abstract |
Bc1-2 has been shown to prolong cancer cell survival by blocking apoptosis and to have the function of scavenging reactive oxygen species. Antisense bc1-2 oligodeoxynucleotides (bc1-2 AS ODN) produced dose-dependent increases in cytotoxicity and apoptosis and a dose-dependent decrease in Bc1-2 protein expression in PC-3 cells and JCA-1 cells. Bc1-2 AS ODN significantly augmented the cytotoxicity induced by radiation on JCA-1 cells, which was assessed by the colony forming assay, when compared with controls (bcl-2 sense ODN or cationic lipid)
Diethylstilbestrol (DES) significantly inhibited cell growth in PC-3 cells in a dose dependent fashion and significantly induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Antisense bc1-2 oligodeoxynucleotides significantly enhanced DES-induced cytotoxicity. A significant increase in apoptotic cells was induced by the combination of bc1-2 AS ODN and DES when compared with bc1-2 AS ODN alone and DES alone. Buthionine sulphoximine (BSO), which is a glutathione depletor, significantly decreased the intracellular concentration of glutathione and augmented the DES-induced cytotoxicity and ROS in PC-3 cells. Neither the generation of ROS nor the intracellular concentration of glutathione was influenced by bc1-2 AS ODN treatment. In conclusion, bc1-2 AS ODN significantly enhanced DES-induced cytotoxicity on hormone-independent prostate cancer cells through the apoptotic pathway, independently of an augmentation of reactive oxygen species generation, whereas the glutathione depletor augments its cytotoxicity and reactive oxygen species generation
