[ 1 ] - Synergistic Effect of Expressed miR-128 and Puma protein on Targeted Induction of Tumor Cell Apoptosis

Background: Puma is a highly robust pro-apoptotic protein. The protein becomes activated by p53 ensuing beyond-repair DNA damage. Downregulation of SIRT 1, by miR-128, elevates activated p53 that foment Puma indirectly. Objectives: In the present study, we used two-expression Adeno-Associated Virus (AAV) system for co-expression of miR-128 and Puma in order to evaluate apoptotic response; both ...
