RNA-Interferenz (RNAi) erlangte eine herausragende Bedeutung zum Studium der Genfunktion, nachdem auch in Säugersystemen gezeigt wurde, daß durch Applikation von 21 nt langen siRNAs (small interfering RNAs) eine Sequenz-spezifische Degradierung der mRNA ...

Loss of p21Cip1/CDKN1A renders cancer cells susceptible to Polo-like kinase 1 inhibition
The deregulation of Polo-like kinase 1 is inversely linked to the prognosis of patients with diverse human tumors. Targeting Polo-like kinase 1 has been widely considered as one of the most promising strategies for molecular anticancer therapy. While the

Enhanced polo-like kinase 1 expression in myelodysplastic syndromes
Cancer is characterized by uncontrolled cellular proliferation, and Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1), a key regulator of the cell cycle, is overexpressed in many cancers, including acute leukemia and lymphoma. However, the dynamics of PLK1 transcription in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are unknown.

Molecular Characterization of the Dbf4/Drf1-Dependent Kinase (DDK) and the DNA Replication Checkpoint Mediator Claspin in Xenopus Egg Extracts [PDF]
The integrity of DNA replication control and checkpoint mechanisms is essential for preventing tumorigenesis. DNA replication is initiated by the S-CDK and DDK kinases which mediate the unwinding of the replication fork.

Investigating the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in establishing and maintaining centrosome asymmetry in Drosophila neuroblasts [PDF]
Centrosome asymmetry has been implicated in stem cell fate maintenance in both flies and vertebrates. Drosophila neuroblasts, the neural precursors of the fly’s central nervous system, contain molecularly and physically asymmetric centrosomes.

Ets-2 is a target for an Akt (protein kinase B)/Jun N-terminal kinase signaling pathway in macrophages of motheaten-viable mutant mice [PDF]
The transcription factor ets-2 was phosphorylated at residue threonine 72 in a colony-stimulating factor 1 (CSF-1)- and mitogen-activated protein kinase-independent manner in macrophages isolated from motheaten-viable (me-v) mice.

Polo-like kinase 1, a pivotal regulator of mitosis and cytokinesis, is highly expressed in a broad spectrum of tumors and its expression correlates often with poor prognosis, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic target.
