Development of RNA aptamers as molecular probes for HER2+ breast cancer study using cell-SELEX
Objective(s): Development of molecules that specifically recognize cancer cells is one of the major areas in cancer research. Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is specifically expressed on the surface of breast cancer cells. HER2 is associated with an aggressive phenotype and poor prognosis. In this study we aimed to isolate RNA aptamers that specifically bind to HER2 overexpressi...
متن کاملRNA nanotechnology breakthrough for targeted release of RNA-based drugs using cell-based aptamers
Nucleic acids play different roles besides storing information and proteins coding. For example, single-stranded nucleic acids can fold into complicated structures with capability of molecular detection, catalyzing bioreactions and therapy. The development of RNA-based therapies has been rapidly progressed in the recent years. RNA aptamers are biomolecules with a size of 10 to 50 nm that can be...

متن کاملRNA aptamers as effective protein antagonists in a multicellular organism.
RNA aptamers selected against proteins can be used to modulate specific protein function. Expression of such reagents in cells and whole organisms could provide a means of dissecting and controlling molecular mechanisms in vivo. We demonstrate that Drosophila B52 protein can be specifically inhibited in vitro and in vivo by a multivalent RNA aptamer. This inhibitory aptamer RNA binds B52 avidly...
متن کاملnon-protein enzymes: rna can act as an enzyme
within the past few years, neat scheme has been overturned by the discovery that rna can act as an enzyme. what does the starting finding of rna enzymes imply? thre first implication is that one can no longer assume a protein lies behind every catalytic activity of the cell. it now appears that several of the operations that tailor an ran molecule into its final form are at least in part cataly...
