To investigate the inhibition role of anti-Fas hammerhead ribozyme on fas expression and Fas-mediated apoptosis of CTL cell line CTLL-2 cells,the cDNA of an anti-Fas hammerhead ribozyme was synthesized,its expression plasmid was constructed and transfected into CTLL-2 cells by electroporation.fas expression of CTLL-2 cells was detected by RT-PCR and Weste blot.CTLL-2 cell viability was measured using MTT assay when co-cultured with mouse T cell leukemia cell line EL4 cells that highly expressed Fas ligand(FasL).Meanwhile,caspase-3 proteolytic activity was detected,and cell apoptosis was measured by flow cytometry and Hochest-PI double staining.Killing activity of CTLL-2 cells was detected by lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)releasing assay in vitro.Results showed that the expression of both Fas mRNA and protein in CTLL-2 cells were decreased after transfection of anti-Fas ribozyme.Compared with mocktransfected group and mutant ribozyme-transfected group,viability of CTLL-2 cells co-cultured with EL4 cells was increased significantly and cells killing activity was enhanced after transfected with anti-Fas ribozyme,while the caspase-3 activity and apoptosis rate was significantly decreased.The results demonstrated anti-Fas ribozyme could efficiently cleave Fas and inhibit Fas-mediated apoptosis of CTLL-2 cells to improve their viability.Our study made a basis for enhancing CTLL-2 cells anti-leukemia effect in DLI.
