Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Growth of colorectal cancer cell lines are inhibited by suppression of LINE-1. LINE-1 was located in stress granule, suggesting that microRNA expression is involved in the mechanism by which knockdown of LINE-1 inhibit cancer growth. However, further experiment shows no evidence that the microRNA expression is involved in the association between knockdown of LINE-1 and inhibiting cancer growth. Further experiment is needed for controlling LINE-1 ORF1 expression as a molecular target of cancer therapy.
