Systemic Delivery of Tumor Suppressor microRNA Mimics Using a Neutral Lipid Emulsion Inhibits Lung Tumors in Mice
Phong Trang,Jason F. Wiggins,Christopher L. Daige,Chris Cho,Michael Omotola,David F.M. Brown,Joanne B. Weidhaas,Andreas G. Bader,Frank J. Slack +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that systemically delivered, synthetic miRNA mimics in complex with a novel neutral lipid emulsion are preferentially targeted to lung tumors and show therapeutic benefit in mouse models of lung cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
The let-7 microRNA reduces tumor growth in mouse models of lung cancer.
Aurora Esquela-Kerscher,Phong Trang,Jason F. Wiggins,Lubna Patrawala,Angie Cheng,Lance P. Ford,Joanne B. Weidhaas,David F.M. Brown,Andreas G. Bader,Frank J. Slack +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used both in vitro and in vivo approaches to show that the let-7 microRNA directly represses cancer growth in the lung and indicated that this miRNA may be useful as a novel therapeutic agent in lung cancer.
Journal Article
The let-7 microrna reduces tumor growth in mouse models of lung cancer
Aurora Esquela-Kerscher,Phong Trang,Lance Ford,David Brown,Joanne B. Weidhaas,Frank J. Slack +5 more
TL;DR: Findings provide direct evidence that let-7 acts as a tumor suppressor gene in the lung and indicate that this miRNA may be useful as a novel therapeutic agent in lung cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regression of murine lung tumors by the let-7 microRNA.
Phong Trang,Pedro P. Medina,Jason F. Wiggins,Lynnsie Ruffino,Kevin Kelnar,Michael Omotola,Robert J. Homer,David F.M. Brown,Andreas G. Bader,Joanne B. Weidhaas,Frank J. Slack +10 more
TL;DR: It is reported that exogenous delivery of let-7 to established tumors in mouse models of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) significantly reduces the tumor burden and point to miRNA replacement therapy as a promising approach in cancer treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
MicroRNAs as potential agents to alter resistance to cytotoxic anticancer therapy.
Joanne B. Weidhaas,Imran A. Babar,Sunitha M. Nallur,Phong Trang,Sarah F. Roush,Michelle Boehm,Erin F. Gillespie,Frank J. Slack +7 more
TL;DR: Findings are the first direct evidence that miRNAs can suppress resistance to anticancer cytotoxic therapy, a common feature of cancer cells, and suggest that miRNAAs may be a viable tool to augment current cancer therapies.
