| Research Abstract |
We found that hnRNP A2 specific RNAi treatment decreased the protein level of SMN in Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) derived fibroblast cells. Our analyses indicated that this effect was controlled at translational level. This result was suggested that the molecular interaction between SMN mRNA and hnRNP A2 might be a new molecular target for developing a therapeutic method for SMA.
