F., Post-transcriptional silencing of the SGE1 gene induced by a dsRNA hairpin in Fusarium oxysporum f. sp cubense, the causal agent of Panama disease, vol. 15, p. -, 2016.

Fusarium oxysporum f. sp cubense (Foc), the causal agent of Panama disease, is responsible for economic losses in banana crops worldwide. The identification of genes that effectively act on pathogenicity and/or virulence may contribute to the development of different strategies for disease control and the production of resistant plants. The objective of the current study was to analyze the importance of SGE1 gene expression in Foc virulence through post-transcriptional silencing using a double-stranded RNA hairpin.

Induction function of siRNA-mediated survivin gene silencing on nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell apoptosis

S. M. Fu, Tu, Z. H., Deng, L. Q., Cai, J. H., Liang, Z., Lin, Z. Q., and Wang, Y. T., Induction function of siRNA-mediated survivin gene silencing on nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell apoptosis, vol. 14, pp. 2537-2545, 2015.

We examined the function of survivin gene expression in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), as well as small interfering RNA (siRNA) on controlling CNE-2 NPC proliferation and apoptosis. Immunohistological methods, in situ hybridization, and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction technique were used to detect survivin protein and mRNA expression. We designed an siRNA sequence to inhibit survivin gene expression. The MTT method was used to examine the function of siRNA on controlling cell growth and proliferation.
