Research Abstract

We searched new molecular target with a synthetic lethal effect with the high expression of oncogene c-Myc in ovarian cancer via large scale siRNA screening. Through bioinformatics analysis utilizing network analysis and database, and verification experiments both in vitro and in vivo, we identified CK1e, WEE1, Aurora A and FURIN as candidates molecule for the new therapeutic target.
