Silencing of ROR1 and FMOD with siRNA results in apoptosis of CLL cells

Abstract excerpt

We have previously demonstrated that ROR1 and FMOD (fibromodulin) are two genes upregulated in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) cells compared to normal blood B cells. In this study, siRNAs were used to specifically silence ROR1 and FMOD expression in CLL cells, healthy B cells and human fibroblast cell lines. siRNA treatment induced a specific reduction (75-95%) in FMOD and ROR1 mRNA. Western blot analysis...
