SODIUM-IODIDE SYMPORTER GENE REPRESSOR BINDING SITE

摘要

The present disclosure relates to a sodium iodide symporter (NIS)-repressor binding sites (NRBS) consensus sequence consisting of a DNA molecule having the sequence 5′-T/C(G/A)GCCT(T/C)A(G/A)TTTCCCCA(T/C)CTGT-3′(the “consensus NRBS”). The disclosure further relates to methods of restoring iodide transport in dedifferentiated thyroid cancer cells by interfering with formation or function of the NIS repressor.
