| Research Abstract |
After transfection of miR RNAi expression vector in human CD34+ progenitor cells and mouse bone marrow cells along with differentiating into platelets with 3-4week culture in vitro, we have confirmed the target gene knocked down in platelet cells. These platelets have less ability of aggregation and P-selectin expression in response to agonists. With injection of these gene knocked down platelets, survival and severity of pulmonary embolism have improved in mouse experimental model. Further studies are necessary to undergo detailed analyses.
