Enhancement of RNA Interference Effect in P19 EC Cells by an RNA-dependent RNA Polymerase
Background: RNA interference (RNAi) is a phenomenon uses double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) to specifically inhibit gene expression. The non-specific silencing caused by interferon response to dsRNA in mammalian cells limits the potential of utilizing RNAi to study gene function. Duplexes of 21-nucleotide short interfering dsRNA (siRNA) inhibit gene expression by RNAi. In some organisms, siRNA can als...
متن کاملEffects of VEGF suppression by small hairpin RNA interference combined with radiotherapy on the growth of cervical cancer.
This study aimed to investigate the inhibition of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) by small hairpin RNA (shRNA) interference combined with radiotherapy on the growth of cervical cancer SiHa cell xenografts in nude mice. The effective pVEGF-shRNA plasmid was screened by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and the cell apoptosis rate was estimated by flow cytometry....
متن کاملSilencing of the hTERT gene through RNA interference induces apoptosis via Bax/Bcl-2 in human glioma cells
Glioma cells are characterized by their invasiveness and resistance to conventional therapeutics. The downregulation of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) can lead to decreased cell proliferation and/or the induction of apoptotic cell death in cancer cells but has rarely been reported in glioma cells. Here, we assessed the effect of th...
متن کاملTargeting Th17 Cells with Small Molecules and Small Interference RNA
T helper 17 (Th17) cells play a central role in inflammatory and autoimmune diseases via the production of proinflammatory cytokines interleukin- (IL-) 17, IL-17F, and IL-22. Anti-IL-17 monoclonal antibodies show potent efficacy in psoriasis but poor effect in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and Crohn's disease. Alternative agents targeting Th17 cells may be a better way to inhibit the development an...
متن کاملRNA interference against human papillomavirus oncogenes in cervical cancer cells results in increased sensitivity to cisplatin.
Targeted inhibition of oncogenes in tumor cells is a rational approach toward the development of cancer therapies based on RNA interference (RNAi). Tumors caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection are an ideal model system for RNAi-based cancer therapies because the oncogenes that cause cervical cancer, E6 and E7, are expressed only in cancerous cells. We investigated whether targeting HPV...
