siRNA Compositions and Methods for Inhibiting Gene Expression in Tumor Initiating Cells of breast Cancer

摘要

Disclosed are methods and compositions for siRNA-mediated therapy of mammalian diseases. In particular, compositions and methods are disclosed for treatment of therapy-resistant human breast cancers. In exemplary embodiments, siRNA molecules are presented that effectively knock down gene expression of one or more polynucleotides in breast cancer tumor initiating cells.
