169 results about "Beta-actin" patented technology

Beta-actin (human gene and protein abbreviation ACTB/ACTB) is one of six different actin isoforms which have been identified in humans. This is one of the two nonmuscle cytoskeletal actins. Actins are highly conserved proteins that are involved in cell motility, structure and integrity. Alpha actins are a major constituent of the contractile apparatus.

Double-stranded/self-complementary vectors with a truncated cba promoter and methods of gene delivery

The present inventors concerns vectors carrying a truncated chimeric CMV-chicken β-actin (smCBA) promoter in which the hybrid chicken β-actin / rabbit β-globin intron is greatly shortened, and their use to deliver to an operatively linked polynucleotide to host cells in vitro or in vivo, resulting in expression of the polynucleotide in the host cells. In one embodiment, the vector carrying the smCBA promoter is administered to the eye. In another embodiment, the vector carrying the smCBA promoter is a self-complementary adeno-associated virus (AAV). The AAV vector may be of any serotype (e.g., type 1, type 2, type 3, type 4, type 5, type 6, type 7, type 8, type 9, type 10). In another embodiment, a self-complementary vector carrying the smCBA promoter is administered to the eye. Another aspect of the invention concerns host cells carrying a vector of the invention. Another aspect of the invention concerns pharmaceutical composition comprising the vectors or host cells of the invention, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

Cancer treatment with retroviral vectors comprising wild-type p53

Disclosed are methods and compositions for the selective manipulation of gene expression through the preparation of retroviral expression vectors for expressing antisense sequences, such as K-ras oncogene antisense sequences, or sequences encoding a desired product, such as wild type p53 sequences. Preferred retroviral vectors of the present invention incorporate the β-actin promoter in a reverse orientation with respect to retroviral transcription. Preferred antisense RNA constructs of the present invention employ the use of antisense intron DNA corresponding to distinct intron regions of the gene whose expression is targeted for down-regulation. In an exemplary embodiment, a human lung cancer cell line (NCI-H460a) with a homozygous spontaneous K-ras mutation was transfected with a recombinant plasmid that synthesizes a genomic segment of K-ras in antisense orientation. Translation of the mutated K-ras mRNA was specifically inhibited, whereas expression of H-ras and N-ras was unchanged. A three-fold growth inhibition occurred in H460a cells when expression of the mutated ras p21 protein was down-regulated by antisense RNA and cells remained viable. The growth of H460a tumors in nu/nu mice was substantially reduced by expressed K-ras antisense RNA.

RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) circEPSTI1 (Epithelial-stromal Interaction 1) and application thereof in triple negative breast cancer

The invention relates to the technical field of breast cancer diagnosis, and specifically discloses RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) circEPSTI1 (Epithelial-stromal Interaction 1) and application thereof in triple negative breast cancer. The application of the RNA circEPSTI1 in the triple negative breast cancer comprises the following steps: firstly, collecting a to-be-detected suspected triple negative breast cancer tissue sample, extracting total RNA, specifically and reversely transcribing the cyclic RNA circEPSTI1 (hsa_circRNA_000479) into cDNA (Complementary Deoxyribonucleic Acid) by using the total RNA as a template; carrying out real-time quantitative PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) amplification by using a specific PCR primer; using beta-actin as a reference gene, thus obtaining a relative quantitative deltaCT value of circEPSTI1; reminding that the circEPSTI1 is in positive expression when deltaCT is smaller than or equal to 5.52. According to the RNA circEPSTI1 and the application thereof in the triple negative breast cancer, disclosed by the invention, the RNA circEPSTI1 is applied to prognostic prediction of a triple negative breast cancer patient through relatively and quantitatively detecting the expression situation of the circEPSTI1 in the suspected triple negative breast cancer tissue sample.

Method for evaluating developmental potential of oocyte by utilizing relative expression of GRIM19 in granulosa cell

The invention discloses a method for evaluating developmental potential of an oocyte by utilizing the relative expression of GRIM-19 in a granulosa cell. When the relative expression of the GRIM-19 in the granulosa cell of the oocyte is 0.16-0.35, the obtained oocyte is judged to be high in developmental potential; when the relative expression of the GRIM-19 is 0-0.12, the obtained oocyte is judged to be low in developmental potential; a beta-actin gene is selected for internal reference. The method disclosed by the invention is a more objective, accurate and quantizable oocyte quality evaluation method, is noninvasive without repeatedly taking out an incubator for observation, so that the adverse environmental stimulation is reduced. Due to being quantizable, the method disclosed by the invention has a specific numerical range, is easy to operate and solves the problem that due to artificial subjective factors, the judgment standards are not unified.
