Inhibition of apoptosis by the expression of antisense RNA of caspase-3

摘要

The present invention relates to an antisense nucleotide of caspase-3, an expression vector encoding antisense RNA of caspase-3, and an inhibition method of cellular apoptosis in recombinant Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells using the same. More precisely, the present invention relates to an antisense nucleotide composed of a base sequence represented by Sequence ID No. 1, which suppresses the expression of caspase-3, an expression vector containing the above antisense nucleotide and expressing antisense RNA of caspase-3, and an inhibition method of apoptosis of recombinant cells by suppressing the expression of caspase-3 through introducing the above expression vector into the recombinant cells and then expressing antisense RNA of caspase-3. According to the present invention, apoptosis can be inhibited by suppressing the activation of caspase-3, which is related to the apoptosis, and the integrity of target protein produced in the recombinant cells can be enhanced.
