RNA activation technique and its applications in cancer research

[摘要] RNA activation (RNAa) is a mechanism of gene activation mediated by small activating RNAs. The activation of gene expression by small activating RNA has excellent targeting specificity and flexibility, with a persistent and strong effect. Studies have shown that the RNAa technique has broad prospects for application in the research on tumor pathogenesis and the treatment of tumors. This paper reviews the literature on RNAa with regard to the course of discovery, the mechanisms and characteristics of action, and the current status and prospects of application.
