The inhibitor of apoptosis wild-type survivin is a multifunctional protein that suppresses apoptosis and regulates cell cycle progression. An association between wild-type survivin expression and radiosensitivity has been described in different tumor cells. The effects of siRNA-induced knockdown of wild-type survivin and survivin-splice variants survivin-Delta 3 and survivin-Delta 3 were investigated under normoxic and hypoxic conditions in the human sarcoma cell line US 8-93 ( mutant p53). Inhibition of the survivin isoforms by siRNA resulted in a decrease of target mRNA down to 14-70% compared to cells treated with control siRNA independent of the oxygen level. The mRNA expression of survivin isoforms was decreased by the factor of 1-12 when the cells were cultivated under hypoxic conditions. Moreover, the knockdown of wild-type survivin reduced colony formation independent of oxygen concentration down to 70% and induced formation of polyploid cells. Less reduction of plating efficiency was observed after specific knockdown of survivin-2B and survivin-Delta 3 under hypoxic or normoxic conditions. A knockdown of wild-type survivin, survivin-Delta 3 and survivin-2B isoforms in combination with irradiation caused no radiosensitization in cell line US 8-93, neither under hypoxic nor under normoxic conditions tested in the colony-forming assay. However, knockdown of wild-type survivin caused radiosensitization in the megacolony assay.
