Gene silencing of HPV16 E6/E7 induced by promoter-targeting siRNA in SiHa cells
13 Oct 2009
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Recently, transcriptional gene silencing induced by small interfering RNA (siRNA) was found in mammalian and human cells. However, previous studies focused on endogenous genes. METHODS: In this study, we designed siRNA targeting the promoter of human papillomavirus 16 E6/E7 and transfected it into the cervical cancer cell line, SiHa. E6 and E7 mRNA and protein expression were detected in cells treated...
