background: the most important virulence factor which plays a central role in candida albicans pathogenesis is the ability of this yeast to alternate between unicellular yeast and filamentous hyphal forms. efg1 protein is thought to be the main positive regulating transcription factor, which is responsible for regulating hyphal-specific gene expression under most conditions. als3 is one of the ...

background: dendritic cells (dcs) are ideal accessory cells in the field of gene therapy. delivery of dna and sirna into mammalian cells is a useful technique in treating various diseases caused by single gene defects. selective gene silencing by small interfering rnas (sirnas) and antisense oligodeoxynucleotides (odn)s is an efficient method for the manipulation of cellular functions. an effic...

Abstract Background To date, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) treatment options are limited because of the loss target receptors and, as a result, only managed with chemotherapy. What is worse that TNBC frequently developing resistance to By using small interfering RNA (siRNA)-based therapeutics, our recent work demonstrated X-box-binding protein 1 (XBP1) was linked human epidermal growth f...

Abstract Sulforaphane (SFN), an active compound in cruciferous vegetables, has been characterized by its antiproliferative capacity. We investigated the role and molecular mechanism through which SFN regulates proliferation self-renewal of lung cancer stem cells. CD133 + cells were isolated with MACs from A549 H460 In this study, we found that inhibited simultaneously. Meanwhile, mRNA protein e...

background human telomerase reverse transcriptase (htert) has become an ideal target for development of anticancer therapy. small interfering rnas (sirnas) are very powerful reagents for gene silencing and show promise for cancer gene therapy. however, only a small number of sirnas have been demonstrated to be effective. for gene therapy targeting htert, it is essential to develop a robust syst...

background: acute myeloid leukemia (aml) is an immunophenotypically heterogeneous malignant disease, in which cd34 positivity is associated with poor prognosis. osteopontin (opn) plays different roles in physiologic and pathologic conditions like: survival, metastasis and cell protection from cytotoxic and apoptotic stimuli. due to anti-apoptotic effect of opn in normal and malignant cells, sil...
