Abstract: hTRT was reversely inserted into pcDNA 3.0 and recombinant pcDRTRT was obtained. Recombinant pcDRTRT were transfected into colonic carcinoma cell line SW-111C were transfected into colonic carcinoma cell line SW-111C with lipofectin and a stable transfected cell line, ie. SW-111C-pcDRTRT was obtained. The transfected cells were charatered with easily dropping, slow growth, and loss of overlap growth ability; Flow cytometry(FCM) detection showed that the cell in G0/1 phases of SW-111C-pcDRTRT increased, but the cells in S and G2M phases decreased; The SW-111C-pcDRTRT cells couldn't form in soft agar; the hTRT's expression of SW-111C-pcDRTRT cells was significantly lower than that of control cells. The results indicated that telomerase activity of SW-111C cells transfected with antisense hTRT was decreased, cellular growth was inhibited and cellular malignant phenotype was reversed.
