169 results about "Beta-actin" patented technology

Beta-actin (human gene and protein abbreviation ACTB/ACTB) is one of six different actin isoforms which have been identified in humans. This is one of the two nonmuscle cytoskeletal actins. Actins are highly conserved proteins that are involved in cell motility, structure and integrity. Alpha actins are a major constituent of the contractile apparatus.

Cancer treatment with retroviral vectors comprising wild-type p53

Disclosed are methods and compositions for the selective manipulation of gene expression through the preparation of retroviral expression vectors for expressing antisense sequences, such as K-ras oncogene antisense sequences, or sequences encoding a desired product, such as wild type p53 sequences. Preferred retroviral vectors of the present invention incorporate the β-actin promoter in a reverse orientation with respect to retroviral transcription. Preferred antisense RNA constructs of the present invention employ the use of antisense intron DNA corresponding to distinct intron regions of the gene whose expression is targeted for down-regulation. In an exemplary embodiment, a human lung cancer cell line (NCI-H460a) with a homozygous spontaneous K-ras mutation was transfected with a recombinant plasmid that synthesizes a genomic segment of K-ras in antisense orientation. Translation of the mutated K-ras mRNA was specifically inhibited, whereas expression of H-ras and N-ras was unchanged. A three-fold growth inhibition occurred in H460a cells when expression of the mutated ras p21 protein was down-regulated by antisense RNA and cells remained viable. The growth of H460a tumors in nu/nu mice was substantially reduced by expressed K-ras antisense RNA.

RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) circEPSTI1 (Epithelial-stromal Interaction 1) and application thereof in triple negative breast cancer

The invention relates to the technical field of breast cancer diagnosis, and specifically discloses RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) circEPSTI1 (Epithelial-stromal Interaction 1) and application thereof in triple negative breast cancer. The application of the RNA circEPSTI1 in the triple negative breast cancer comprises the following steps: firstly, collecting a to-be-detected suspected triple negative breast cancer tissue sample, extracting total RNA, specifically and reversely transcribing the cyclic RNA circEPSTI1 (hsa_circRNA_000479) into cDNA (Complementary Deoxyribonucleic Acid) by using the total RNA as a template; carrying out real-time quantitative PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) amplification by using a specific PCR primer; using beta-actin as a reference gene, thus obtaining a relative quantitative deltaCT value of circEPSTI1; reminding that the circEPSTI1 is in positive expression when deltaCT is smaller than or equal to 5.52. According to the RNA circEPSTI1 and the application thereof in the triple negative breast cancer, disclosed by the invention, the RNA circEPSTI1 is applied to prognostic prediction of a triple negative breast cancer patient through relatively and quantitatively detecting the expression situation of the circEPSTI1 in the suspected triple negative breast cancer tissue sample.
