Objective To investigate the role of anti apoptosis gene bcl-2 in the survival of cultured uveal melanoma UM cells. Methods Antisense oligodeoxynucleotides (AS-ODN) bcl-2 were delivered with cationic lipid to primary cultured UM cells. The inhibitory effect of AS-ODN bcl-2 on proliferation of UM cells was examined by 3,-4,5 Dimethyliazol-2,5 diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) method. Using DNA ladder to determine if the UM cells had been apoptotic. Bcl-2 expression was detected by RT-PCR and Westernblot technics. Results The effect of AS-ODN bcl-2 in inhibiting the proliferation of cultured UM cells had opposite relation to dosage. It down regulated the mRNA and protein level of bcl-2 gene, and the sense ODN didn′t have this effect. Conclusion AS-ODN bcl-2 can down regulate bcl-2 expression, inhibits UM cells proliferation and induces apoptosis. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis, 2002, 18: 38-41)
