To explore effects of the siRNA of the survivin gene inducing apoptosis ill human gastric cancer cells, three siRNAs, cpusiRNA1, cpusiRNA2, and cpusiRNA3, were designed and transferred into human gastric carcinoma cell line SGC-823 (SGC-823)," researchers in Nanjing, People's Republic of China report. "The opposite livability oil SGC-823 cells was assayed with an MTT test. The change of mRNA and protein of survivin and p53 gene were detected by reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain...
