title: A double-strand decoy DNA oligomer for NF-kappaB inhibits TNFalpha-induced ICAM-1 expression in sinusoidal endothelial cells.
abstract: Altered gene expression of liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (SECs) is associated with impaired immune response. Here we report that the decoy technique effectively suppresses TNFalpha-induced ICAM-1 expression in SEC. An NF-kappaB decoy (NF-kappaB31: 5(')-TGGGGACTTTCCAGTTTCTGGAAAGTCCCCA-3), which contains a consensus sequence for NF-kappaB, was complexed to PLL-g-HA [hyaluronate-grafted poly(L-lysine) copolymer] that permits transfer of exogenous DNA selectively to the SEC. The PLL-g-HA/NF-kappaB31 complex was added to the culture media of LSE cells, a human SEC-derived cell line. Then, cells were stimulated with TNFalpha (5ng/mL). PLL-g-HA/NF-kappaB31, but not control oligodeoxynucleotides having a reverse or scrambled sequence, inhibited the intranuclear localization of NF-kappaB induced by TNFalpha, with almost complete inhibition at 2.5microg/mL as DNA. NF-kappaB31 attenuated the increase in ICAM-1 mRNA as well as protein levels in LSE cells. The decoy technique in combination with PLL-g-HA may provide a novel strategy for manipulation of SEC functions.
