RNA Interference-Induced Innate Immunity, Off-Target Effect, or Immune Adjuvant?

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2017
RNA interference (RNAi) is a natural cellular mechanism that inhibits gene expression in a sequence-specific manner. In the last decade, RNAi has become a cornerstone in basic biological systems research and drug development efforts.

Structural insights into RNA interference [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Structural Biology, 2010
Virtually all animals and plants utilize small RNA molecules to control protein expression during different developmental stages and in response to viral infection. Structural and mechanistic studies have begun to illuminate three fundamental aspects of these pathways: small RNA biogenesis, formation of RNA-induced silencing complexes (RISCs), and ...

Circulating tumor cells: advancing personalized therapy in small cell lung cancer patients

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive form of lung cancer that spreads rapidly to secondary sites such as the brain and liver. Cancer cells circulating in the blood, “circulating tumor cells” (CTCs), have demonstrated prognostic value in SCLC, and evaluating biomarkers on CTCs could guide treatment decisions such as for PARP inhibitors ...

Gain-of-function p53 protein transferred via small extracellular vesicles promotes conversion of fibroblasts to a cancer-associated phenotype

open access: yesCell Reports, 2021
Summary: Tumor and stromal interactions consist of reciprocal signaling through cytokines, growth factors, direct cell-cell interactions, and extracellular vesicles (EVs).

Massive gene amplification on a recently formed Drosophila Y chromosome. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Widespread loss of genes on the Y is considered a hallmark of sex chromosome differentiation. Here we show that the initial stages of Y evolution are driven by massive amplification of distinct classes of genes. The neo-Y chromosome of Drosophila miranda

Pharmaceutical Prospects for RNA Interference

open access: yesPharmaceutical Research, 2004
RNA interference has proven to be a powerful tool in gene function validation. Recently, the first studies were published reporting a disease-modulating activity of the technique, suggesting a promise for RNA interference as a novel therapeutic strategy. This review discusses the recent advancements in realizing the clinical utility of RNA-interference.

Cell‐free and extracellular vesicle microRNAs with clinical utility for solid tumors

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Cell‐free microRNAs (cfmiRs) are small‐RNA circulating molecules detectable in almost all body biofluids. Innovative technologies have improved the application of cfmiRs to oncology, with a focus on clinical needs for different solid tumors, but with emphasis on diagnosis, prognosis, cancer recurrence, as well as treatment monitoring.

Metabolic shifts toward glutamine regulate tumor growth, invasion and bioenergetics in ovarian cancer

open access: yesMolecular Systems Biology, 2014
Glutamine can play a critical role in cellular growth in multiple cancers. Glutamine‐addicted cancer cells are dependent on glutamine for viability, and their metabolism is reprogrammed for glutamine utilization through the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle.
