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 کاملCholecystokinin down-regulation by RNA interference impairs Ewing tumor growth.
PURPOSE Tumors of the Ewing family are characterized by chromosomal translocations that yield chimeric transcription factors, such as EWS/FLI1, which regulate the expression of specific genes that contribute to the malignant phenotype. In the present study, we show that cholecystokinin (CCK) is a new target of the EWS/FLI1 oncoprotein and assess its functional role in Ewing tumor pathogenesis. ...
متن کاملDown-regulation of mcl-1 by small interfering RNA sensitizes resistant melanoma cells to fas-mediated apoptosis.
Resistance of malignant melanoma cells to Fas-mediated apoptosis is among the mechanisms by which they escape immune surveillance. However, the mechanisms contributing to their resistance are not completely understood, and it is still unclear whether antiapoptotic Bcl-2-related family proteins play a role in this resistance. In this study, we report that treatment of Fas-resistant melanoma cell...
متن کاملDown-regulation of CXCR4 by inducible small interfering RNA inhibits breast cancer cell invasion in vitro.
RNA interference (RNAi) is a powerful tool for studying gene function. Here, we describe an inducible small interfering RNA expression system that allows a tight control of the specific gene silencing by RNAi. Using this system, we demonstrated the inducible RNAi effect on the gene expression in mammalian cells. We further showed that inducible knockdown of endogenous CXC chemokine receptor-4 (...
متن کاملDown-regulation of EDAG expression by retrovirus-mediated small interfering RNA inhibits the growth and IL-8 production of leukemia cells.
Embryonic development associated gene (EDAG), which is overexpressed in hematopoietic neoplasms and leukemia cell lines, has been reported to participate in the leukemia cell differentiation and proliferation. This study investigated whether retrovirus-mediated transfer of a siRNA against EDAG can reduce the growth of leukemia cells which highly express EDAG in vitro and in vivo. The stable tra...
