Gene Therapy
Researchers at People's Hospital target gene therapy
Published in Gene Therapy Weekly, June 18th, 2009
Current study results from the report, 'An efficient method to enhance gene silencing by using precursor microRNA designed small hairpin RNAs,' have been published. "Gene silencing can be mediated by small interfering RNA (siRNA) and microRNA (miRNA). To investigate the potential application of using a precursor microRNA (pre-miRNA) backbone for gene silencing, we studied the inhibition efficiency of exogenous GFP and endogenous GAPDH by conventional shRNA-and pre-miRNA-designed hairpins, respectively," investigators in Guangzhou, People's Republic of China report.
"In this study, the conventional shRNA-, pre-miRNA-30-, and pre-miRNA-155-designed hairpins targeting...
