First siRNA library screening in hard-to-transfect HUVEC cells
Meaningful RNAi-based data for target gene identification are strongly dependent on the use of a biologically relevant cell type and efficient delivery of highly functional siRNA reagents into the selected cell type. Here we report the use of the Amaxa(R) Nucleofector(R) 96-well Shuttle(R) System for siRNA screening in primary cells. Lonza's Clonetics(R) HUVEC-Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial C...
متن کاملAltered Expression of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) in Glioma
EGFR is a key molecule in cancer cells. EGFR signaling was shown to promote tumor cell proliferation and survival, invasion and angiogenesis and mediate resistance to treatment, including ionizing radiation in preclinical models. We extracted proteins from astrocytoma (III and IV) oligodendroglioma(IV) tumors and normal brain tissues and then evaluated the protein purity by Bradford test ...
متن کاملAnti-epidermal growth factor receptor siRNA carried by chitosan-transacylated lipid nanocapsules increases sensitivity of glioblastoma cells to temozolomide
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a crucial protein that plays an important role in the maintenance and development of glioblastomas. The silencing or knockdown of EGFR is possible by administering a small interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA). Lipid nanocapsules (LNCs) covered by chitosan were developed in our laboratory by a transacylation process. The resulting nanocapsules have a po...
متن کاملElectroporation Can Efficiently Transfect hESC-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells without Inducing Differentiation
Electroporation is a common method of gene transfer that has recently been used to efficiently transfect mesenchymal stem (stromal) cells (MSCs); however, the electrical stimulus has the potential to alter cell state. This study examines possible negative effects of electroporation of human embryonic stem cell (hESC)-derived MSCs including, loss of potency or induction of differentiation. Immun...
متن کاملMMP-2 siRNA Inhibits Radiation-Enhanced Invasiveness in Glioma Cells
BACKGROUND Our previous work and that of others strongly suggests a relationship between the infiltrative phenotype of gliomas and the expression of MMP-2. Radiation therapy, which represents one of the mainstays of glioma treatment, is known to increase cell invasion by inducing MMP-2. Thus, inhibition of MMP-2 provides a potential means for improving the efficacy of radiotherapy for malignant...
