RNA Interference Targeting Aurora Kinase A Suppresses Tumor Growth and Enhances the Taxane Chemosensitivity in Human Pancreatic Cancer Cells
1 Apr 2005
Abstract excerpt
AURKA/STK15/BTAK, the gene encoding Aurora A kinase that is involved in the regulation of centrosomes and segregation of chromosomes, is frequently amplified and overexpressed in various kinds of human cancers, including pancreatic cancer. To address its possibility as a therapeutic target for pancreatic cancer, we employed the RNA interference technique to knockdown AURKA expression and analyzed its phenotypes....
