We have designed small hairpin RNAs (shRNA) for targeting AML1-ETO oncogene and a region close to the 5'-untranslated region of mRNA for the mutant RUNX1(K83N) oncogene and expressed the shRNAs in lentiviral vectors. We report a stable reduction in expression of oncogenes following the introduction of shRNAs into cells. regulation of gene expression, posttranscriptional regulation of expression, RNA-interference, acute myeloid leukemia (AML), siRNA, shRNA, lentiviral vectors |
