Down-regulation of c-myc and Cyclin D1 genes by antisense oligodeoxy nucleotides inhibits the expression of E2F1 and in vitro growth of HepG2 and Morris 5123 liver cancer cells

Abstract excerpt

A number of genetic interactions are involved in the control of cell cycle, but their role and nature have not been completely clarified. The knowledge of the behavior of these interactions in hepatocellular carcinoma, could optimize preventive and therapeutic strategies based on cell cycle restraint. We studied downstream events following c-MYC and CYCLIN D1 gene inhibition, by lipoplex-delivered MYC and CYCLIN...
