Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

There is provided a heptamer-type small guide nucleic acid that comprises any of the 7-base sequences of SEQ ID NOS: 1 to 15, and induces apoptosis of human leukemia cells. A leukemia therapeutic agent containing the heptamer-type small guide nucleic acid as an active ingredient is also provided. The novel heptamer-type sg nucleic acid can induce apoptosis of human leukemia cells.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A leukemia therapeutic agent, which comprises one or more of a small guide RNA consisting of a sequence selected from SEQ ID NOS: 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13 or 15 as an active ingredient, wherein one or more of the small guide RNA is phosphorylated at the 5′ and 3′ ends, and is 2′-O-methylated. 2. A composition comprising one or more of a small guide RNA consisting of a sequence selected from SEQ ID NOS: 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13 or 15 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, wherein one or more of the small guide RNA is phosphorylated at the 5′ and 3′ ends, and is 2′-O-methylated.
