Antiproliferation effects of antisense to IGFII in ovarian cancer AO cells were determined by 3H-thymidine incorporation. Apoptosis of the IGFll antisense-treated cells was quantitated by both nuclear condensation and flow cytometry after cells were stained with propidium iodide. IGFII antisense (4.5μM)treatment of 48 h maximally inhibited proliferation of AO cells. More than 25% of IGFII antisense-treated cells (4.5PM for 24 h) had undergone apoptosis, whereas less than 3% of the cells were apoptotic in either IGFII sense-treatedcells or untreated cells. Antisense oligonucleotide to IGFII significantly inhibited cell proliferation and induced apoptosis in human ovarian cancer AO cell. These data suggest that IGFII may be a potential target in treatment of ovarian cancer and antisense oligonucleotide to IGFⅡmay serve as a therapeutic approach.展开更多
