eSIBR construct fragment for SOX9

The part encodes artificial microRNA (amiRNA) that silences SOX9, a gene promoting cancer metastasis and driving cancer cell growth. [1] SOX9-targeting amiRNA in the transformed salmonella, will form dsRNA upon binding to stemness SOX9 mRNA in tumour cells. Under the aid of this particular biobrick, RNA silencing and degradation of SOX9 mRNA in liver cancer stem cells can be achieved simultaneously.

The part for SOX9 silencing in cancer stem cells

BBa_K3063903 The part for SOX9 silencing in cancer stem cells. With the help of enhanced synthetic inhibitory BIC/miR-155 RNA (eSIBR) vector, pri-miRNA hairpin as shown below is transcribed and later processed into mature miRNA in Salmonella Typhimurium, achieving SOX9 knockdown in target cancer cells.

Sox9 has long been known to overexpress in tumor, in particular, cancer stem cells. It maintains self-renewal capacity of CSCs through constitutive activation of Notch signalling pathway [2] Metastatic cells show further elevation of Sox9 than non-metastatic ones, indicating the role of the gene in cancer progression, possibly via Wnt/β-catenin signaling. [3]
