MicroRNA-17 inhibits tumor growth by stimulating T-cell mediated host immune response
BACKGROUND Melanoma is one of the fastest-rising types of cancer in North American. Accumulating evidence suggests that anti-tumor immune tolerance plays a critical role in tumor development. METHODS B16 melanoma cells were injected into wild type and miR-17 overexpressing transgenic mice. Tumor growth was monitored and tumor bearing mice were sacrificed by the end of the forth week. Peripher...
متن کاملNymphal RNAi: systemic RNAi mediated gene knockdown in juvenile grasshopper
BACKGROUND Grasshopper serves as important model system in neuroscience, development and evolution. Representatives of this primitive insect group are also highly relevant targets of pest control efforts. Unfortunately, the lack of genetics or gene specific molecular manipulation imposes major limitations to the study of grasshopper biology. RESULTS We investigated whether juvenile instars of...
متن کاملRNAi-mediated knockdown of α-enolase increases the sensitivity of tumor cells to antitubulin chemotherapeutics.
The over-expression of α-enolase was demonstrated in several cancers, including lung, brain, breast, colon and prostate. In this report, we investigated the effects of α-enolase knockdown on the sensitivity of cancer cells to chemotherapeutic drugs. RNAi-mediated knockdown of α-enolase in A549 and H460 lung, MCF7 breast and CaOV3 ovarian cancer cells caused a significant increase in the sensiti...
متن کاملRNAi-mediated HOXD3 knockdown inhibits growth in human RKO cells
Numerous studies have shown that the multifunctional Homeobox-containing (HOX) D3 gene is involved in various physiological and pathological processes. To elucidate the role and mechanism of HOXD3 in colorectal cancer (CRC), we measured its expression in five CRC cell lines. After determining that HOXD3 was highly expressed in the human RKO cancer cell line, we used lentiviral-mediated small in...
متن کاملSpecific RNAi mediated gene knockdown in zebrafish cell lines.
Here we demonstrate highly efficient RNA interference in ZFL, SJD and ZF4 cell lines derived from adult and embryonic zebrafish Danio rerio. Microinjection of siRNAs resulted in silencing in almost 100% of cells while transfection using cationic liposomes led to silencing in 30%. Use of siRNAs against zebrafish lamin A, lamin B2 and the motor protein Eg5, led to knockdown of the target genes wi...
