Several oligodeoxyribonucleotides in a nuclease-resistant phosphorothioate form targeted to iNOS mRNA were tested in RAW 264,7 cells as potential antisense inhibitors.Antisense S-ODNs inhibited iNOS activity in a time- and dose-depended manner.Application of Lipofectin agent, which itself had no significant effect, greatly increased antisense activity.Decreased levels of the target mRNA, as demonstrated by reverse transcriptase -polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), suggest tha RNase H mediated mechanism.
