摘要:
This disclosure provides double- stranded nucleic acid complexes having one or more hydroxymethyl substituted nucleomonomer(s) and wherein one strand is complementary to a HRAS mRNA. Nucleic acid complexes of the disclosure may be useful for therapeutic applications, diagnostic applications or research applications. Nucleic complexes include short interfering RNA complexes (siRNA) capable of modulating gene expression comprising an antisense strand and a continuous or a discontinuous passenger strand ("sense strand"). Further, one or more hydroxymethyl substituted nucleomonomer(s) of this disclosure may be positioned at the 3 '-end, at the 5 '-end, at both the 3 '-end and 5 'end, and/or in a double-stranded region of a nucleic acid complex. Also provided are methods of decreasing expression of a HRAS gene in a cell or in a subject to treat a HRAS-related disease.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating diseases related to abnormal proliferation of cells, comprising a cytoplasmic heat shock protein (Hsp)60 kDa inhibitor as an active ingredient, and to a screening method and a kit using the composition. According to the present invention, substances which inhibit expression of cytoplasmic Hsp 60 genes or inhibit activity of cytoplasmic Hsp 60 or inhibit binding between cytoplasmic Hsp 60 and IKK protein prevent interaction between cytoplasmic Hsp 60 and IKK complexes to make NF- ?B path inactive, and thus induce apoptosis. Therefore, the substances can be valuably used in preventing or treating diseases related to abnormal proliferation of cells, such as cancer, inflammatory diseases or hyperproliferative vascular diseases.
摘要:
The present invention provides a small interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA) which is complementarily bonded to a base sequence of c-Met transcript (mRNA transcript) to suppress c-Met expression in a cell as well as optionally to not induce immunological reactions, and applications of the siRNA for cancer prevention and/or treatment. The siRNA, which is bonded complementarily to the mRNA involved in the encryption of the c-Met, suppresses c-Met expression which is overexpressed in nearly all cancer cells in common due to the RNA interference (RNAi) phenomenon and inhibits the proliferation and metastasis of the cancer cells, thereby making the siRNA very useful as an anticancer agent.

In one embodiment, a B cell specific aptamer-siRNA chimera is provided. The B cell specific aptamer-siRNA chimera may include an RNA aptamer that binds BAFF-R and an siRNA molecule conjugated to the RNA aptamer via a nucleotide linker. In another embodiment, a B cell specific RNA aptamer is provided. The RNA aptamer may be a molecule that binds to BAFF-R that has the sequence SEQ ID NO:37, SEQ ID NO:38 or SEQ ID NO:39. In some embodiments, the RNA aptamer is conjugated, via a nucleotide linker, to an siRNA molecule that suppresses expression of one or more target oncogenes in one or more B cells. In one aspect, the one or more target oncogenes are selected from Bcl6, Bcl2, STAT3, Cyclin D1, Cyclin E2 and c-myc. In another embodiment, methods for treating a B cell malignancy in a cancer patient are provided. Such methods may include administering a therapeutically effective amount of a therapeutic composition, the therapeutic composition comprising a B cell specific RNA aptamer that binds BAFF-R.
