NUCLEIC-ACID PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITION FOR CANCER THERAPY

摘要

The present invention provides at least one siRNA (small interfering RNA) which inhibits the expression of Mcl-1 within the cell, and which is selected from siRNA having SEQ. ID. NO. 1 sense sequence and SEQ. ID. NO. 2 antisense sequence, siRNA having SEQ. ID. NO. 3 sense sequence and SEQ. ID. NO. 4 antisense sequence, and siRNA having SEQ. ID. NO. 5 sense sequence and SEQ. ID. NO. 6 antisense sequence. The invention also provides a nucleic-acid pharmaceutical composition for cancer therapy comprising the same. The siRNA of the present invention kills cancer cells by inhibiting the expression of Mcl-1 which is commonly expressed in cancer cells by means of RNA-mediated interference (RNAi), and the composition of the present invention can be used as an outstanding anti-cancer preparation.
