Abstract

The alteration of cyclin D1 gene expression is a common feature of malignancies of diverse histogenesis. Our recent results showed that over expression of cyclin D1 protein is frequently found in human ovarian cancer. In this study, we investigated the effect of cyclin D1 antisense oligodeoxynucleotides on cell growth and gene expression in PA-1 ovarian cancer cells. Our results demonstrated that cyclin D1 antisense oligodeoxynucleotides indeed functioned as an antiproliferative agent. More strikingly, we found that different cyclin D1 antisense oligodeoxynucleotides exert different efficacy on the inhibition of cell growth and gene expression. We suggest that selection and characterization of high affinity oligodeoxynucleotides is strictly required before the application of antisense technology.

This feed focuses on antisense oligonucleotide therapies such as Inotersen, Nusinursen, and Patisiran, in neurodegenerative diseases including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Cell Cycle Pathways

Cell cycle is a complex process regulated by several signal transduction pathways and enzymes. Here is the latest research on regulation of cell cycle and cell cycle pathways.

Cell Checkpoints & Regulators

Cell cycle checkpoints are a series of complex checkpoint mechanisms that detect DNA abnormalities and ensure that DNA replication and repair are complete before cell division. They are primarily regulated by cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases, and the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome. Here is the latest research.
