AIM: To explore the therapeutic potential of antisense oligodeoxynucleotides on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
METHODS: Four antisense phosphorothioated oligodeoxynucleotides (asON), complementary to different sites of HBV, were synthesized and assayed for their anti-HBV activity in HepG2.2.15 cells with ELISA. The most effective asON was chosen for the following study: FACSCAN, TRAP and immuno-staining were used respectively for checking apoptosis, telomerase activity and expression of oncogene p21ras and p62C-myc in HepG2.2.15 cells after treated by asON.
RESULTS: The oligomer directed against the initiator of pre-S2 was the most effective one with an inhibitory rate of 66% on HBsAg and 91% on HBeAg (p < 0.02). Two inhibitory peaks (bimodal) appeared. Telomerase activity as well as the expression of p21ras and p62C-myc decreased drastically 3 d after as ON-HbpreS-2 treatment. Meanwhile, apoptosis appeared in the experiments.
CONCLUSION: The inhibitory effects of as-preS2 on the HBV gene expression and the reversion of some malignant behaviour in HepG2.2.15 cells were the significant, effective therapy against HBV infection and hepatocellular carcinoma.
