Inhibition of glutaminase expression by antisense mRNA decreases growth and tumourigenicity of tumour cells
Open accessAbstract
Phosphate-activated glutaminase has a critical role in tumours and rapidly dividing cells and its activity is correlated with malignancy. Ehrlich ascites tumour cells transfected with the pcDNA3 vector containing an antisense segment (0.28 kb) of rat kidney glutaminase showed impairment in the growth rate and plating efficiency, as well as a shortage in the glutaminase protein and activity. The C-terminal segment used is well conserved in all glutaminase sequences known. The transfected cells, named 0.28AS-2, displayed remarkable changes in their morphology compared with the parental cell line. The 0.28AS-2 cells also lost their tumourigenic capacity in vivo. Control mice developed an ascitic tumour, with a lifespan of 16±1 days, when inoculated with 107 cells/mouse; on the contrary, animals inoculated with transfected cells up to 2.5 times the cell numbers of control mice did not develop tumours and behaved as healthy animals. The ability to revert the transformed phenotype of antisense-transfected cells confirms the relevance of glutaminase in the transformation process and could provide new ways for the study of gene therapy.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
