Enforced downregulation of Bcl-XL in the ras-transformed cells with the antisense oligodeoxyribonucleotide results in the inhibition of ras-induced resistance to anoikis. (A) Western blot analysis of Bcl-XL in mock-transfected IEC-ras-3 cells, IEC-ras-3 cells transfected with a control, or antisense Bcl-XL oligonucleotides. The membrane was reprobed with anti-CDK 4 antibody as a loading control. (B) Analysis of apoptosis by cell death ELISA in mock-transfected IEC-ras-3 cells, IEC-ras-3 cells transfected with a control, or antisense Bcl-XL oligonucleotides that were cultured in monolayer or suspension overnight. Results represent the average of duplicates plus the SD. Induction of anoikis was calculated as the ratio of the apoptotic signal observed in suspension versus the monolayer. This experiment was performed three times with similar results.
