Abstract
Agents for stimulating the dividing activity of mammalian cells are presented, which have as an active substance a nucleotide sequence with a complimentary sequence (anti-sense) to a domain of the mRNA of tumor suppressor retinoblastoma or p16 genes acting on cell dividing activity. For Rb, the agents are nucleotide sequences 5'-GGTTTTGGGCGGCATGAC-3' (SEQ ID NO: 1) and 5'-CTCAGTAAAAGTGAACGA-3' (SEQ ID NO: 2); a nucleotide sequence comprising 49 base pairs, wherein the domain of the mRNA comprises nucleotides 124 to 152; and a 360 base pair nucleotide wherein the domain of the mRNA comprises an Hpa I restriction endonuclease site, an ASP718 endonuclease site, a portion of the 5' untranslated domain of the Rb gene, and a first exon of the Rb gene. For p16, the agent comprises GATCCATGCT GCTCC (SEQ ID NO: 3).
