Introduction of the 2',4'-BNA monomer into oligonucleotides significantly enhanced binding affinity toward ssRNA and resistance to nuclease degradation. Here, we evaluated the antisense activity of 2',4'-BNA oligonucleotides against bcl-xL in HepG2 cells. Our data revealed that 2',4'-BNA antisense oligonucleotides remarkably inhibited the expression of bcl-xL in HepG2 cells compared to the natural DNA antisense oligonucleotide. The inhibitory effect of 2',4'-BNA antisense oligonucleotide was dose-dependent and highly sequence-specific.
