The invention relates to the identification of genes involved in resistance of cancer cells to therapy, to short nucleic acid molecules which inhibit the expression of these genes by RNA interference and to their use as adjuvant in cancer therapy, to sensitize cancer cells to conventional anticancer agents ; said short nucleic acid molecules are double-stranded short interfering nucleic acid molecules comprising a sense and an antisense region, wherein the sense region comprises a nucleotide sequence that is selected from the group consisting of: the sequences SEQ ID NO: 15, 11, 13, 14, 30, 31, 38, 46, 64 and 70 and the sequences having at least 70 % identity, preferably at least 80 % identity, more preferably at least 90 % identity with said sequences, and the antisense region comprises a nucleotide sequence that is complementary to the sense region.
本发明涉及癌细胞抗药性基因的鉴定、通过RNA干扰抑制这些基因表达的短核酸分子及其在癌症治疗中作为辅助剂的用途,以使癌细胞对常规抗癌剂敏感;所述短核酸分子是由有义区和反义区组成的双链短干扰核酸分子,其中有义区包括选自以下组成的组的核苷酸序列:SEQ ID NO: 15、11、13、14、30、31、38、46、64和70:序列 SEQ ID NO:15、11、13、14、30、31、38、46、64 和 70 以及与上述序列具有至少 70% 的同一性,优选至少 80% 的同一性,更优选至少 90% 的同一性的序列,而反义区包括与有义区互补的核苷酸序列。
