The PCNA expression in transferred cells was dynamically detected by immunofluo- rescence and RT- PCR techniques. Changes of proliferation activities of cancer cells were assayed by MTT colorim etric and cloning formation m ethods.In the experiment,the antisense eukaryotic vector was successfully constructed and nam ed as p L APSN.After transfection with it for1- 7 days,PCNA protein and m RNA levels in cancer cells were blocked by16 .74 % - 84 .2 1% (P< 0 .0 5 ) and2 3.2 7% - 86 .15 % (P<0 .0 5 ) respectively.The proliferation activities of transferred cells were inhibited by 2 7.91% - 6 2 .0 7% (P<0 .0 1) ,with cloning formation abilities being de- creased by 5 0 .81% (P<0 .0 1) . Itwas concluded that the in vitro proliferation activities of cancer cells could be effectively inhibited by blocking PCNA expression with antisense technique,which could serve as an ideal strategy for gene therapy of bladder cancer.展开更多
