Abstract
Description
Technical field:
[0001] The present invention relates to the design and synthesis of a group of siRNA (short interfering ribonucleic acid) drugs and their application in tumor gene therapy. Background technique:
[0002] Inhibiting the expression of tumorigenesis-related genes is an important idea in the research and development of new anti-tumor drugs. The RNA interference (RNAi) technology (Nature 1998; 391: 806-811), discovered in 1998, has become an effective tool to inhibit the expression of target genes. RNA interference is considered to be a physiological mechanism to defend against exogenous nucleic acid intrusion, which is common in lower organisms to higher organisms, and it can rapidly and specifically degrade target mRNA. Therefore, based on the RNA interference that exists in this organism itself, artificially design and synthesize specific siRNA targeting tumor-related genes as a precursor to induce RNA interference, so that it can effectively degrade tumor-re...
