Thus, cells with defective p21 may result in an enhancement of radiation induced apoptosis and improved radiosensitivity. We tested the hypothesis that p21 antisense oligodeoxynucleotides (p21 AS ODNs) can be used to reduce p21 expression level and increase radiosensitivity in CNE\u20101\u2010wtp53 nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line with normal p53 function.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Methods and materials<\/jats:italic>: The p21 antisense oligodeoxynucleotides (p21 AS ODNs) and the random control oligodeoxynucleotides (p21 RD ODNs) were synthesized. p21 AS ODNs sequence: 5\u2032\u2010TGTCATGCTGGTCTGCCGCC\u20103\u2032; p21 RD ODNs sequence: 5\u2032\u2010CCGGTGAACGAGCGAGCACA\u20103\u2032. p21 AS ODNs and p21 RD ODNs were transfected into CNE\u20101\u2010wtp53 nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line. The protein expression levels of P21 were evaluated using Western blotting analysis. Cell cycle progression and apoptotic cells were assessed by flow cytometric analysis. The clonogenic survival assay was performed to determine the survival fraction. The parameters <jats:italic>D<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>0<\/jats:sub>, Dq, and <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic> for the single\u2010hit multitarget model and the parameters \u03b1, \u03b2, \u03b1\/\u03b2, and SF<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> for the linear\u2010quadratic model were calculated. BALB\/c nude mice were used to investigate the effect of p21 AS ODNs on the radiosensitivity of nasopharyngeal xenografts in vivo.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>: p21 AS ODNs were detected mainly in plasma with fluorescence microscopy investigation. P21 protein level dramatically decreased and the amount of apoptotic cells increased in p21 AS ODNs transfected cells than in p21 RD ODNs transfected cells after irradiation. The percentage of G<jats:sub>1<\/jats:sub> arrest decreased in p21 AS ODNs transfected cells 24 h after radiation, then G<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> arrest decreased 48 h after radiation. The values of <jats:italic>D<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>0<\/jats:sub>, Dq, SF<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> decreased and \u03b1 value increased in p21 AS ODNs transfected cells than in control cells. The inhibition rate in tumor xenografts exposed to X ray of 10 Gy alone was 39.1%, while it was 51.4% in xenografts injected with p21 AS ODNs before exposure to radiation. Unfortunately, there was no significant difference between these two groups (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>: p21 Antisense oligodeoxynucleotides led to inhibition of P21 protein expression, loss of G<jats:sub>1<\/jats:sub> arrest, increase of apoptosis in CNE\u20101\u2010wtp53 nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line in vitro and inhibited tumor growth in vivo.
