摘要
Very recent studies have reported that chemically synthesized small duplex RNAs complementary to the promoters of target genes can activate gene expression in different cancer cell lines. Such dsRNA have been referred to as saRNA for small activating RNA. The present study was conducted to evaluate the potential of p21(WAF1/Cip1) (p21) induction by small activating RNA targeting the p21 promoter in the treatment of bladder cancer. Using T24 human bladder cancer cells, we found that p21 saRNA caused dose- and time-dependent inhibition of cell proliferation and viability which was associated with induced G1-phase cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. The decreased anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-xL and activation of caspase-3 and PARP also supported the efficacy of the treatment These data suggest that up-regulation of p21 by saRNA may be an effective way for treating human bladder and other types of cancers.
