background: rna interference-based gene silencing has recently been applied as an efficient tool for functional gene analysis. rorc2 is the key transcription factor orchestrating th17 cells differentiation, the cells that are known as the pathogenic elements in various autoimmune diseases. the aim of this study was to design efficient sirnas specific for rorc2 and to evaluate different criteria...

Engineered peptide based biocompatible, siRNA transporter can transfect primary and TNBC cells with efficient long-term gene silencing. Nanocomplex silencing Notch1 exhibits synergistic interaction metformin amplifies anticancer therapy.

the discovery of rna interference (rnai) in recent years has revolutionized biological and medical research. rnai is the sequence-specific gene silencing triggered by double-stranded rna (dsrna). until a couple of years ago only biologists working with caenorhabditis elegans and plants could use rnai technology to gain insight into gene function……

Objective(s): Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in females. Understanding molecular mechanisms in cancer cells compared with normal cells is crucial for diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. Long intergenic non-protein coding RNA, a regulator of reprogramming (lincRNA-RoR) is a noncoding RNA which initially was detected in induced pluripotent s...

The Effect of Chalcone Isomerase (Chi) Gene Silencing on Flavonoids Content in Petunia hybrida using RNAi Technology

Objective(s): ShRNA-mediated silencing strategy is considered to be a potent therapeutic approach. The present study aimed to assess the ability of the previously prepared polyethylenimine (PEI) derivative for the shRNA knock-down of the CD200 gene on the cells obtained from the patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Materials and Methods: Since there are several investigations...
