6mer Seed Toxicity and Platinum Resistance in Ovarian Cancer

Published: Jan 26, 2021
Abstract
Development of platinum (Pt) resistance is a major barrier to curing ovarian cancer (OC). 6mer seed toxicity is a novel cancer killing mechanism mediated by tumor suppressive miRNAs with a toxic 6mer seed sequence (positions 2-7) through the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). The most toxic 6mer seeds are G-rich and kill cells by targeting the 39 untranslated region of genes critical for cell survival. We now show that treatment of OC cells...
