title: [Stat3 antisense oligodeoxynucleotide induces apoptosis in laryngeal carcinoma cells by regulating apoptosis-related factors].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the mechanism of apoptosis in laryngeal carcinoma cell induced by Stat3 antisense oligodeoxynucleotide (ASODN).
  
  
  METHODS
  The designed Stat3 ASODN was transferred into laryngeal carcinoma Hep-2 cell by lipofection. Expression of Bcl-2, Bax and C-Myc were detected by Western blot and PCR.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Western blot and PCR results demonstrated that Stat3 ASODN could significantly increased the expression of Bax and decreased the expression of Bcl-2 and C-Myc when the concentration of antisense oligodeoxynucleotide were heightened.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Stat3 ASODN participate in apoptosis by enhancing the expression of Bax and reducing the expression of Bcl-2 and C-Myc.
