  • Effect of EBV LMP1 Targeted Dnazymes on Cell Proliferation And
    Cancer Gene Therapy (2005) 12, 647–654 r 2005 Nature Publishing Group All rights reserved 0929-1903/05 $30.00 www.nature.com/cgt Effect of EBV LMP1 targeted DNAzymes on cell proliferation and apoptosis Zhong-Xin Lu,1 Mao Ye,1 Guang-Rong Yan,1 Qun Li,1 Min Tang,1 Leo M Lee,2 Lun-Quan Sun,3 and Ya Cao1 1Cancer Research Institute, Xiangya School of Medicine, Central South University, Changsha, China; 2Laboratory of Molecular Technology SAIC-Frederick, National Cancer Institute, Frederick, Maryland, USA; and 3St Vincent’s Clinical School, Faculty of Medicine, The University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia. The latent membrane protein (LMP1) encoded by Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) has been suggested to be one of the major oncogenic factors in EBV-mediated carcinogenesis. RNA-cleaving DNA enzymes are catalytic nucleic acids that bind and cleave a target RNA in a highly sequence-specific manner. In this study, we explore the potential of using DNAzymes as a therapeutic approach to EBV- associated carcinomas by targeting the LMP1 gene. In all, 13 different phosphorothioate-modified ‘‘10–23’’ deoxyribozymes (DNAzymes) were designed and synthesized against the LMP1 mRNA and transfected into B95-8 cells, which constitutively express the LMP1. Fluorescence microscopy was used to examine the cellular uptake and distribution in B95-8 cells. As demonstrated in Western blots, three out of 13 deoxyribozymes significantly downregulated the expression of LMP1 in B95-8 cells. These DNAzymes were shown to markedly inhibit B95-8 cell growth compared with a disabled DNAzyme and untreated controls, as determined by an alamarBlue Assay.

Any contribution made to the research by others, with whom I have worked at UNSW or elsewhere, is explicitly acknowledged in the thesis. I also declare that the intellectual content of this thesis is the product of my own work, except to the extent that assistance from others in the project's design and conception or in style, presentation and linguistic expression is acknowledged.’ Signed …………………………………………….............. Date …………………………………………….............. i ABSTRACT Despite the development of vaccines for human papillomaviruses (HPV) in cervical cancer and other efforts to improve therapy, deaths still average 275,000 annually worldwide, with most women succumbing to recurrent or metastatic disease. The c-Jun oncogene is a subunit of the activating protein-1 (AP-1) transcription factor and is strongly expressed in cervical cancer, regulating the expression of HPV16 and 18 genes. AP-1 plays a major role in cell growth, migration and apoptosis in many cell types.

Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignancy of bone. It arises in bone during periods of rapid growth and primarily affects adolescents and young adults. The 5-year survival rate for osteosarcoma is 60%–70%, with no significant improvements in prognosis since the advent of multiagent chemotherapy. Diagnosis, staging, and surgical management of osteosarcoma remain focused on our anatomical understanding of the disease. As our knowledge of the molecular pathogenesis of osteosarcoma expands, potential therapeutic targets are being identified. A comprehensive understanding of these mechanisms is essential if we are to improve the prognosis of patients with osteosarcoma through tumour-targeted therapies.
