摘要
Elevated high mobility group A (HMGA) protein expression in pancreatic cancer cells is correlated with resistance to the chemotherapy agent gemcitabine. Here, we demonstrate use of HMGA-targeted AT-rich phosphorothioate DNA (AT-sDNA) aptamers to suppress HMGA carcinogenic activity. Cell growth of human pancreatic cancer cells (AsPC-1 and Miapaca-2) transfected with AT-sDNA were monitored after treatment with gemcitabine. Significant increases in cell death in AT-sDNA transfected cells compared to non-AT-rich sDNA treated cells were observed in both cell lines. The data indicate the potential use of HMGA targeted DNA aptamers to enhance chemotherapy efficacy in pancreatic cancer treatment. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
