Abstract: The present invention discloses uses of the human ZFX gene and drugs associated therewith. Also disclosed are uses of the human ZFX gene in tumor treatment, tumor diagnosis, and drug preparation. Further disclosed are small interfering RNA (siRNA), and nucleic acid and lentivirus encoding the siRNA to the human ZFX gene and uses thereof. The siRNA and nucleic acid and lentivirus encoding the siRNA provided by the present invention can specifically inhibit the expression of human ZFX gene. Lentiviruses in particular can efficiently infect target cells, inhibit ZFX expression in target cells, and inhibit the growth of tumor cells, thus promote tumor apoptosis and have great significance in tumor treatment.
Abstract: The present invention discloses the use of a human NLK gene and associated drugs thereof. The present invention discloses the use of the NLK gene for tumor treatment, tumor diagnosis and drug preparation. The present invention further constructs an isolated molecule that attenuates expression of the NLK gene of tumor cells, cells comprising the isolated molecule and a NLK interference lentivirus, and discloses the use thereof as well. The isolated molecule or the NLK interference lentivirus that attenuates expression of the NLK gene provided in the present invention can specifically attenuate expression of the human NLK gene, especially the lentivirus, can effectively infect target cells, efficiently inhibit the expression of the NLK gene in target cells, and inhibit the growth of tumor cells, thus has great significance in tumor treatment.
