Therapeutic Evaluation of Epstein-Barr Virus-encoded Latent Membrane Protein-1 Targeted DNAzyme for Treating of Nasopharyngeal Carcinomas
28 Oct 2013
Abstract excerpt
The ability of the 10-23 DNAzyme to specifically cleave RNA with high efficiency has fuelled expectation that this agent may have useful applications for targeted therapy. Here, we, for the first time, investigated the antitumor and radiosensitizing effects of a DNAzyme (DZ1) targeted to the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-LMP1 mRNA of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) in patients. Preclinical studies indicated that the...
