This video demonstrates the in vivo delivery of miRNA inhibitors as therapeutic agents against tumor growth in orthotopic mouse models. The intratumoral administration of synthetic miRNA inhibitors or antagomiRs allows them to bind and inhibit endogenous miRNAs, thereby causing mRNA upregulation and suppression of tumor growth.
Protocol
All procedures involving animal models have been reviewed by the local institutional animal care committee and the JoVE veterinary review board. 1. Flank Inoculation of Cells and Intratumoral antagomiR Treatment Cell preparation Engineer a Cal62 human thyroid cancer cell line (KRASG12R and p53A161D mutations) to overexpress a transgenic construct that constitutively expresses GFP and luciferase (CMV-Firefly Luc-IRES-eGFP). Select the transgenic cells by…
