Human rhabdomyosarcoma cells express membrane epidermal growth factor receptor (ECF-R), which could confer responsiveness to EGF and transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF-alpha) of autocrine or paracrine origin. To study the role played by this growth factor circuit in the proliferation and differentiation of myogenic neoplastic cells, human rhabdomyosarcoma EGF-R-expressing cells (RD/18 clone)...
Naturally occurring antisense RNAs in prokaryotes are generally short, highly structured and untranslated. Stem-loops are always present, and loop regions serve as primary recognition structures in most cases. Single-stranded tails or internal unstructured regions are required for initiation of stable pairing between antisense and target RNA. Most antisense RNAs contain bulged-out nucleotides o...
BACKGROUND Survivin, a member of the inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) protein family, is detectable in most types of cancer, and its presence is associated with a poor prognosis. We determined the effects of gene-based therapies that inhibit survivin function in a mouse tumor model. METHODS Using five to six mice per treatment group, we injected tumors derived from mouse EL-4 thymic lymphoma cell...
Alveolar macrophages from Pneumocystis carinii-infected hosts are defective in phagocytosis (W. Chen, J. W. Mills, and A. G. Harmsen, Int. J. Exp. Pathol. 73:709–720, 1992; H. Koziel et al., J. Clin. Investig. 102:1332– 1344, 1998). Experiments were performed to determine whether this defect is specific for P. carinii organisms. The results showed that these macrophages were unable to phagocyto...
Plasmid pIP501 encoded transcriptional repressor CopR is one of the two regulators of plasmid copy number. It acts as a transcriptional repressor at the essential repR promoter. Furthermore, CopR prevents convergent transcription from the repR and the antisense promoter, thereby indirectly increasing the amount of antisense-RNA, the second regulatory component. CopR binds as a dimer to a nearly...
PURPOSE Hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF), via its receptor c-MET, has been implicated to play a pivotal role in breast cancer development and progression. This study examined a transgene-consisting of a combination of U1snRNA, hammerhead ribozyme, and antisense, designed to inhibit c-met expression-and its impact on the migration and in vitro invasion of breast cancer cells. E...
Antisense RNAII is a replication control element encoded by promiscuous plasmid pMV158. RNAII binds to its complementary sequence in the copG-repB mRNA, thus inhibiting translation of the replication initiator repB gene. In order to initiate the biochemical characterization of the pMV158 antisense RNA-mediated control system, conditions for in vitro transcription by T7RNA polymerase were set up...
Angiotensinogen (AGT) has been linked to hypertension. Because there are no direct inhibitors of AGT, we have developed antisense (AS) inhibition of AGT mRNA delivered in an adeno-associated virus (AAV)-based plasmid vector. This plasmid, driven by the cytomegalovirus promoter, contains a green fluorescent protein reporter gene and AS cDNA for rat AGT. Transfection of the plasmid into rat hepat...

Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are the main peripheral target for vasoconstriction and growth-promoting activity of angiotensin II (Ang II), acting through angiotensin type 1 receptors (AT1-R). Current antihypertension treatments include daily reductions in the effects of Ang II. To decrease an effect of Ang II in a prolonged fashion, we have developed an adeno-associated virus (AAV) vect...
