design a chimeric promoter containing survivin-like core promoter in order to transcriptional targeting of breast cancer
objective: the greatest challenge in cancer gene therapy is to achieve the high specificity and efficiency in targeting of cancer cells. because the goal of cancer gene therapy is to eradicate cancer cells, many therapeutic genes could be detrimental if unintentionally expressed in normal cells. using promoter of the genes which are expressed specifically in cancer cells or have much more expre...
متن کاملHLA-G-specific microRNAs a novel approach for targeting tumors
Immune inhibitory molecules on immune cells as well as on tumor cells appear to play a key role in modulating the immunogenicity of tumors and the efficacy of immunotherapies. One mediator is represented by the nonclassical HLA-G antigen, which is often overexpressed in human tumors when compared to corresponding normal tissues thereby inhibiting both innate as well as adaptive immune responses...
متن کاملActivation of cancer-specific gene expression by the survivin promoter.
BACKGROUND Survivin, a member of the IAP (inhibitor of apoptosis) gene family, appears to be overexpressed in common cancers but not in corresponding normal adult tissues. To investigate whether the survivin promoter controls cancer cell-specific gene expression, we determined whether the survivin gene promoter could regulate reporter gene expression in cancer cell lines and xenografts. METHO...
متن کاملNovel Isatin-based activator of p53 transcriptional functions in tumor cells
Bioinorganic medicinal chemistry remains a hot field for research aimed at developing novel anti-cancer treatments. Discovery of metal complexes as potent antitumor chemotherapeutics such as cisplatin led to a significant shift of focus toward organometallic/ bioinorganic compounds containing transition metals and their chelates as novel scaffolds for drug discovery. In that way, transition met...
متن کاملevaluating the expression of survivin gene as a specific tumor marker for prognosis of bladder cancer
objective: inhibition of apoptosis may favor the onset and progression of cancer. survivin is an inhibitor of apoptosis that has been considered as a potential marker for diagnostic and/or prognostic of bladder cancer. the survivin protein regulates both cell division and cell death and is overexpressed in the vast majority of human cancers. in this study, the expression pattern and potential p...
