Abstract:
Objective: To clarify the inhibition of the expression of PDGF-B chain and the proliferation f C
6 glioma cells by triplex-forming oligonucleotide(TFO).
Methods: C
6 glioma cell growth was assessed by microculture tetrazolium dye (MTT) assay two days after adding different dosage of triplex-forming oligonucleotide. PDGF-B chain expression was quantified by immunofluorescence flow cytometric analysis.
Results: triplex-forming oligonucleotide can obviously inhibit the PDGF-B chain expression and the proliferation of C
6 glioma cells in concentration-dependent fashion.
Conclusion: Triplex-forming oligonucleotide can effectively suppress the C
6 glioma cell PDGF-B chain expression and the cell proliferation.
