Expressional and regulatory characterization of mRNA and miRNA for food-intake related molecules

一些草药和香料在预防癌症和包括厌食症在内的其他慢性疾病的发生和/或发展方面显示出潜力。目前正在对它们进行筛选，通过分析mRNA和miRNA的表达来探索开发可行的药物的可能性。例如，在用鼠尾草或迷迭香提取物处理的细胞中，这些草药处理48小时后，与对照细胞相比，AKT1的mRNA和蛋白表达水平降低。

Some of herbs and spices have shown potential in preventing the occurrence and/or progression of cancer and other chronic diseases including anorexia. They are being screened to explore the possibility of development of feasible medical drugs by analyzing the expression of mRNA and miRNA. For example, mRNA and protein expression levels of AKT1 were reduced compared with the control cells 48 hours after these herbal treatments in cells treated with sage or rosemary extract.
