Abstract:
Objective : To investigate the targeting effect of bcl-2 ASODN mediated by PEI-RGD on human colon carcinoma cell line caco-2.
Methods : The mean intracellular fluorescence intensity of cells and uptake rates of fluorescence-labled bcl-2 antisense oligodeoxynucleotide were measured by flow cytometry, and were observed with phase-contrast fluorescence microscopy.
Results : Compared with the control group, the uptake rate of bcl-2 antisense oligodeoxynucleotide into caco-2 cell and the mean intracellular fluorescence intensity of cells were greatly improved by PEI-RGD (P<0.05).
Conclusion : PEI-RGD can efficiently enhance the cellular of uptake rates of bcl-2 antisense oligodeoxynucleotide in caco-2 cells, which has targeting effect.
