Inhibition of breast cancer cell proliferation with anti-microRNA oligonucleotides flanked by interstrand cross-linked duplexes.
This study investigated the effects of anti-microRNA-21 (miR-21) AMO modified with CLDs on breast cancer cells without using reporter assay. The CLD-modified AMO suppressed breast cancer cell proliferation for a long duration compared to other types of AMOs. In addition, it expectedly up-regulated the miR-21-controlled expression of tumor suppressor genes. Therefore, an AMO flanked by CLDs can be a promising strategy for breast cancer treatment.
