Anti-gene peptide nucleic acid specifically inhibits <i>MYCN</i> expression in human neuroblastoma cells leading to cell growth inhibition and apoptosis
1 May 2005
Abstract excerpt
We developed an anti-gene peptide nucleic acid (PNA) for selective inhibition of MYCN transcription in neuroblastoma cells, targeted against a unique sequence in the antisense DNA strand of exon 2 of MYCN and linked at its NH(2) terminus to a nuclear localization signal peptide. Fluorescence microscopy showed specific nuclear delivery of the PNA in six human neuroblastoma cell lines: GI-LI-N and IMR-32...
