Abstract:

Background: RNAi (RNA interference) is a new strategy in gene therapy and biotechnology which provides new promises in the treatment of different diseases such as cancer and viral diseases. CCND1 which is a key gene in cell cycle is amplified and over expressed in esophageal cancer. The objective of this study was production and siRNAs for CCND1, the key gene in cell cycle. Materials and Methods: We used dsRNA digestion method by using recombinant human dicer enzyme to cleave in vitro transcribed dsRNA into a pool of 22bp siRNA. Total RNA was extracted and cDNA was produced using RT-PCR. T7 promoter was added to both ends of the DNA template by PCR. RNA was produced from both strands of the DNA using T7 RNA polymerase. After annealing both strands, dsRNA was prepared. Finally siRNA pool was produced by dicer treatment. Results: RNA extraction yield from HN5 cell line was 14.69 µg/106cell. The results from beta actin control gene confirmed the cDNA integrity. After optimization, T7 promoter adding was confirmed using gel electrophoresis and DNA sequencing. After optimization dsRNA yield was improved. The best incubation condition was 18h. Each microgram of dsRNA yielded 0.5 µg siRNA. Conclusion: dsRNA digestion method includes several steps which the product of each step is used as the precursor for the next step. So optimization and increasing the specificity and product yield should be in the most important goals of the study, because the yield of each step has a direct relationship with the final product yield which is siRNA. Optimizing and increasing the yield, dsRNA digestion method could be a rapid, available and profitable method for siRNA generation, providing large amounts of siRNA.

Cyclin D1 Expression in Patients with Laryngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Background & Objective: Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is considered to be one of the most common cancers of the head and neck, accounting for roughly 90% of all malignant tumors of the larynx. To have a timely diagnosis for a better and practical therapy, molecular markers have to be investigated. The aim of this study was to determine the expression of Cyclin D1 (CD...

Evaluation of Cyclin D1 Expression in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma and its Effect on Response Rate to Neo- adjuvant Chemoradiotherapy

  Background and Objective: Esophageal cancer especially squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is one of the most common gastro intestinal malignancies in north part of Iran (Khorasan). The standard treatment for esophageal cancer is surgical resection, but its outcome remains poor. Then, the oncologists try to treat this cancer with sandwich protocols especially neo-adjuvant chemo-radiotherapy. Sever...

Gene therapy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Despite improvement of surgical treatment and application of multi-modality therapies to advanced esophageal cancer, the prognosis is extremely poor in patients with T4 tumors. Based on the genetic background of esophageal cancer, we have developed various gene therapy strategies against human esophageal cancer cells. In this article, we reviewed molecular events of esophageal cancer and gene t...

Role of Brg1 in progression of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma

Objective(s): Epigenetic regulation of gene expression can be carried out through chromatin remodeling enzymes such as SWI/SNF. Brg1 also known as SMARCA4 is a catalytic subunit of SWI/SNF, which is necessary for MMPs expression. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are known as important player enzymes during tumor progression and metastasis. Aberrant epigenetic modification of chromatin should be...

Prevalence of Nucleotide Alterations of EGFR Gene in Patients with Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma in Kerman

Background & Aims: Esophageal Cancer is the sixth fatal cancer in the world. Squamous and adenocarcinoma account for 95% of esophageal cancer. The expression of EGFR has a role in the pathophysiology of epidermal-based malignancies such as esophageal cancer. EGFR is also an important criterion in the evaluation of disease staging and prognosis. The aim of this study was to survey the prevalence...
