The present invention is related to a method for treating cancer by using siRNA nanocomplex consisting of a nucleic acid molecule, a monocationic drug and a biocompatible polymer surfactant. The present nanocomplex can deliver an active ingredient (for example, a nucleic acid molecule and monocationic drug) into a cell/tissue of interest in a stable manner, and may be effectively applied for treating or detecting diverse disorders (practically, cancers).

The disclosure relates to double-stranded ribonucleic acid (dsRNA) compositions targeting the DNAJB 1-PRKAC A fusion gene, and methods of using such dsRNA compositions to alter (e.g., inhibit) expression of DNAJB 1-PRKAC A fusion.

The invention relates to the method for building nanoparticle-based drug carriers and the nanoparticle based drug delivery system able to manipulate the corresponding protein corona for specific and potent drug delivery to cancer cells.

The present invention relates to compositions and methods for treating cancer, particularly to agents that inhibit the expression and/or activity of the protein second mitochondria-derived activator of caspase/direct inhibitor of apoptosis-binding protein with low pI (SMAC/Diablo). The inhibiting agents include RNA interference molecules silencing the expression of SMAC/Diablo and peptides modulating its interactions within the cell nucleus and mitochondria. The methods and agents of the present invention are useful in treating cancers associated with overexpression of SMAC/Diablo.

This invention provides compounds, compositions and methods for modulating the expression of human GST-π using RNA interference. The RNA interference molecules can be used in methods for preventing or treating diseases such as malignant tumor. Provided are a range of siRNA structures, having one or more of nucleotides being modified or chemically-modified. Advantageous structures include siRNAs with 2′-deoxy nucleotides located in the seed region, as well as other nucleotide modifications.

The present technology relates, in part, to long double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) (e.g., 30 or more base pairs) that inhibits gene expression.

This study describes a method to determine the likelihood of the development of metastasis in a subject suffering from cancer, in addition to a method to design a customized therapy in a subject suffering from cancer, in particular breast, colon, lung, kidney and thyroid cancer, based on the determination of the expression level of one or more genes whose expression is modulated by an increase in c-MAF expression. It also describes a method for the identification of marker genes with a propensity for metastatic cancer based on inducing the modulation of the c-MAF expression Finally, the use of PTHLH and PODXL inhibitors and RERG activators in the treatment and/or prevention of the cancer, in particular breast, colon, lung, kidney and thyroid cancer.

The present invention provides a c-Rel-specific siRNA and its use for preventing and treating autoimmune psoriasis. In particular, the c-Rel-specific siRNAs have sequences as shown in SEQ ID Nos. 1-2 or SEQ ID Nos. 3-4. In the present invention, small interfering RNA (siRel) specific to c-Rel are employed to inhibit c-Rel biosynthesis, and prevent and treat autoimmune psoriasis by inhibiting inflammatory factors relating to IL-23/IL-17A inflammatory axis.

Provided herein are double stranded nucleic acid molecules, compositions comprising same and methods of use thereof for the treatment of a subject wherein expression of DDIT4 is associated with the etiology or progression of a disease or disorder in the subject. The compounds are preferably chemically synthesized and modified dsRNA molecules.

The disclosure provides, e.g., compositions and methods for modulating a host response to a Gene Writer system. In some embodiments, modulation of the host response results in increased integration of a heterologous nucleic acid sequence of interest into a target genome. In some embodiments, modulation of the host response results in an increased stability, e.g., maintenance of an insertion or expression thereof. In some embodiments, modulation of the host response results in decreased cytotoxicity.
