Abstract: AIM: To design antisense phosphorothioate oligodeoxynucleotides (PS-ODNs) which targeted to livin mRNA and investigate the anti-cancer effects and the mechanism in vitro.METHODS: Several antisense PS-ODNs were designed and exposed to MCF-7 breast cancer cells.MTT, RT-PCR, flow cytometry and caspase-3 assay were tested in the experiment.RESULTS: The level of livin mRNA was decreased and the activity of caspase3 was increased by YMZ05 in several PS-ODNs designed.The growth of MCF-7 was inhibited and the cell apoptosis was induced by PS-ODN.CONCLUSION: The inhibition of livin can inhibit the growth of MCF-7 breast cancer cells and induce the apoptosis of it.The livin may become a new potential target of anticancer therapy.

Key words: antisense, phosphorothioate oligodeoxynucleotides (PS-ODNs), livin mRNA, MCF-7 cell, cell apoptosis
