Downregulation of Hus1 by antisense oligonucleotides enhances the sensitivity of human lung carcinoma cells to cisplatin

Abstract

In Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Hus1 is a component of the radiation sensitive (Rad) machinery that has been identified as playing a role in DNA repair and cell cycle G2/M checkpoint control pathways. Hus1 has been shown to exist in a discrete complex with at least two Rad family members, Rad1 and Rad9. Furthermore, Hus1 is essential for checkpoint activation, since Hus1 mutants fail to arrest the cell cycle in response to DNA damage or unreplicated DNA. To establish the role and relevance of human Hus1 in cell cycle regulation, the authors applied antisense technology to selectively downregulate the expression of Hus1 mRNA. Transfection of 2'-O-methoxyethyl-modified Hus1 antisense oligoribonucleotides into human H1299 nonsmall lung carcinoma cells was performed using Lipofectin as the carrier. The authors prepared RNA from transfected cells, and levels of Hus1 expression were analyzed by real time polymerase chain reaction. The growth and viability of cells treated with Hus1 antisense oligonucleotides in the presence or absence of cisplatin were analyzed and compared to controls. Transfection of selected Hus1 antisense oligonucleotides into p53 deficient H1299 cells resulted in significant downregulation of Hus1 mRNA, up to 80%;...Continue Reading
