Detail of proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR)
ncRNA name mTOR siRNA
ncRNA Category siRNA
Disease name proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR)
Species Oryctolagus cuniculus
Tissues/Cell_line retinas
Methods siRNA injection, fundus photography
Expression pattern associated
Functional description Decreasing mTOR expression by about 82% using small interfering RNA resulted in a significant decrease in cell spreading and migration. Whereas retinal detachment occurred in 100% of the control group animals, co-injection of the mTOR specific siRNA substantially reduced the severity and incidence (50%) of retinal detachments.
PubMed ID 18027173
Year 2007
Title siRNA targeting mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) attenuates experimental proliferative vitreoretinopathy.
Drug-related ncRNA NO
