Tumor inhibition by genomically integrated inducible RNAi-cassettes
RNA interference (RNAi) has emerged as a powerful tool to induce loss-of-function phenotypes by post-transcriptional silencing of gene expression. In this study we wondered whether inducible RNAi-cassettes integrated into cellular DNA possess the power to trigger neoplastic growth. For this purpose inducible RNAi vectors containing tetracycline (Tet)-responsive derivatives of the H1 promoter fo...
متن کاملInhibition of tumor cell motility by the interferon-inducible GTPase MxA.
To identify pathways controlling prostate cancer metastasis we performed differential display analysis of the human prostate carcinoma cell line PC-3 and its highly metastatic derivative PC-3M. This revealed that a 78-kDa interferon-inducible GTPase, MxA, was expressed in PC-3 but not in PC-3M cells. The gene encoding MxA, MX1, is located in the region of chromosome 21 deleted as a consequence ...
متن کاملInhibition of alpha-globin gene expression by RNAi.
RNA interference (RNAi), a process by which target messenger RNA (mRNA) is cleaved by small interfering complementary RNA (siRNA), is widely used for investigations of regulation of gene expression in various cells. In this study, siRNA complementary to 5' region of exon II of alpha-globin mRNA was examined for its role in erythroid colony forming cells (ECFCs) isolated from normal peripheral b...
متن کاملIn vitro inhibition of Cyprinid herpesvirus-3 replication by RNAi
Cyprinid herpesvirus-3 (CyHV-3) is an etiological agent of a notifiable disease that causes high mortality rates affecting both the common and koi carp Cyprinus carpio L. There is no current treatment strategy to save CyHV-3 infected fish. RNA mediated interference (RNAi) is an emerging strategy used for understanding gene function and is a promising method in developing novel therapeutics and ...
متن کاملFunctional Inhibition of Nucleostemin Gene-Acoordinator of Self-Renewal Ability-In Bone Marrow Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells by Rnai Strategy
Purpose: The aim is to downregulate the expression level of NS as an important factor in sustaining stem cells and certain types of cancer cells self-renewal ability in bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells by RNAi strategy and investigate the effects of absence of NS in these cells. Materials and Methods: Double strand NS-specific and control siRNA oligos were designed and transfected in...
