Our objective is to sensitize SCCVII cells to ionizing radiation <jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>in vivo<\/jats:italic> through inhibiting ATM expression using antisense oligodeoxynucleotides (AS-ODNs), and investigate the potential mechanism of radiosensitization.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>We designed and synthesized AS-ODNs that target ATM mRNA to reduce the ATM expression. The influence on the expression of ATM mRNA and protein in SCCVII cells were analysed by real-time quantitative PCR and western blotting respectively. Clonogenic survival assay was performed to detect the survival ability of SCCVII cells after irradiation, while flow cytometry used to analyse the cell cycle and apoptosis. The volume of solid tumors generated with SCCVII cells was measured, and cell apoptosis was analysed by TUNEL assay after irradiation.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The relative ATM mRNA and protein expression in SCCVII cells treated with ATM AS-ODNs were decreased to 25.7 \u00b1 3.1% and 24.1 \u00b1 2.8% of that in untreated cells respectively (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05). After irradiation, the survival fraction (SF) of cells treated with ATM AS-ODNs was lower than that of other groups at the same dose of radiation (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05), while the percentage of cells in G2\/M phase decreased and apoptotic rate of cells increased(<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05).

The apoptotic index for the group irradiated in combination with ATM AS-ODNs injection was 19.6 \u00b1 3.2, which was significantly higher than that of others (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05)<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Inhibition of ATM expression sensitized SCCVII cells to ionizing radiation <jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>in vivo<\/jats:italic>.
