| Research Abstract |
Non-coding RNAs are functional molecules associated with various disease, such as cancers and AIDS, development. We focused on functions of (1) microRNA and (2) 7SK non-coding RNAs. These non-coding RNAs exhibited their function as "RNA-Protein complexes". We developed novel nucleic acid analogs, which inhibit or mimic RNA-Protein interfaces, for the treatment of cancers or AIDS.
