Small interfering RNA; principles, applications and challenges--
Gene silencing using RNAi (RNA interference), has recently been used as a successful laboratory technique in determining the function and control of gene expression and provides a wide range of applications in molecular biology and gene therapy. RNAi is a method of suppressing gene expression. In this direction, a single-stranded RNA molecule of about 21–23 nucleotides, called siRNA (small inte...
متن کاملDesign, simplified cloning, and in-silico analysis of multisite small interfering RNA-targeting cassettes
Multiple gene silencing is being required to target and tangle metabolic pathways in eukaryotes and researchers have to develop a subtle method for construction of RNA interference (RNAi) cassettes. Although, several vectors have been developed due to different screening and cloning strategies but still some potential limitations remain to be dissolved. Here, we worked out a simple cloning stra...
متن کاملBronchial thermoplasty in asthma: current perspectives
Bronchial thermoplasty (BT) is a novel therapy for patients with severe asthma. Using radio frequency thermal energy, it aims to reduce the airway smooth muscle mass. Several clinical trials have demonstrated improvements in asthma-related quality of life and a reduction in the number of exacerbations following treatment with BT. In addition, recent data has demonstrated the long-term safety of...
متن کاملModulation of the response of prostate cancer cell lines to cisplatin treatment using small interfering RNA.
Cisplatin is one of the most effective and widely used chemotherapeutic agents against several types of human cancers. However, the underlying mechanisms of action are not fully understood. We aimed to investigate the possible molecular mechanism(s) of acquired chemoresistance observed in prostate cancer cells treated with cisplatin. Human LNCaP cells (bearing wild-type p53) and PC-3 cells (lac...
متن کاملThe Treatment of Bronchial Asthma
That it should be necessary to get 19 contributors to write a book on bronchial asthma covering about 450 pages shows the enormous importance which the disease has attained. As it appears from the historical introduction, asthma was recognized by the ancient Greek physicians as a distinct clinical entity, and it is interesting to know that Jerome Carden in 1552 cured the Archbishop of St. Andre...
