Abstract excerpt
Given that mutant COL1A1 is known to cause Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI), tools to modulate COL1A1 expression are likely to be of significant therapeutic value. In this context, we have evaluated RNA interference (RNAi) as a means to downregulate COL1A1 expression in Cos-7 cells and in human mesenchymal progenitor stem cells (MPCs), the latter cells giving rise to bone and therefore representing a target cell type...
