Q-REstrain consists of microRNA molecules with the ability to regulate the gene expression of a specific target. The short dsRNAs (double-stranded RNAs) are derived by cleavage of long dsRNA from Dicer and can be microRNAs (miRNAs). miRNAs then assemble with RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) and cause gene silencing. RNAi has been used in the therapy of different diseases including cancer, viral infections, respiratory diseases, etc. Targeting of specific proteins, through degradation of their mRNA, is very common in cancer treatment of different types of cancer or other infections.
Q-REstrain contains microRNAs isolated by the patient’s sample, leading to the degradation of specific mRNA molecules, which are overexpressed in this specific sample, thus regulating the expression. Q-REstrain is for autologous use only and is provided through the RGCC network.
