## Abstract In order to develop a gene therapy to human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), RNA interference (RNAi) was employed to inhibit the expression of HCMV UL122 gene __in vitro__. Recombinant vector pUL122βEGFP, which expressed UL122βEGFP fusion protein, and recombinant vectors psi122β1, psi122β2 and p

## Abstract West Nile virus (WNV) has been responsible for the largest outbreaks of arboviral encephalitis in U.S. history. No specific drug is currently available for the effective treatment of WNV infection. To exploit RNA interference as a potential therapeutic approach, a Moloney murine leukemi
## Abstract Antisense technology, including ribozyme and small interfering RNA, is being developed to mediate the downβregulation of specific intracellular genes. It was observed in this study that both antiluciferase ribozymes and short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) could significantly reduce the activity
## Abstract Sodium butyrate (NaBu) can enhance the expression of genes controlled by some of the mammalian promoters, but it can also inhibit cell growth and induce cellular apoptosis. Thus, the beneficial effect of using a higher concentration of NaBu on a foreign protein expression is compromised
## Abstract The goal of the investigation was to test the hypothesis that the phosphoinositideβ3 kinase (PI3K)/AKT signaling pathway regulates the expression of the major extracellular matrix component of the intervertebral disc, aggrecan, in nucleus pulposus cells. Primary rat nucleus pulposus cel
## Abstract Excitotoxicity and cell death induced by glutamate are involved in many neurodegenerative disorders. We have previously demonstrated that excitotoxicity induced by millimolar concentrations of glutamate in hippocampal slices involves apoptotic features and glutamateβinduced glutamate re
