Selective Treatment of Cancer, HIV, Other RNA Viruses and Genetically Related Diseases Using Therapeutic RNA Switches

Targeted therapy in cancer or viral infections is a challenge because the disease state manifests itself mainly through differences in the cell interior, for example in the form of the presence of a certain RNAs or proteins in the cytoplasm.

The technology consists of designed RNA switches that activate the RNA interference pathway only in the presence of a trigger RNA or DNA to which they bind, in order to knock down a chosen gene that is not necessarily related to the initial trigger.

This new approach can lead to a new type of drug that has the unique feature of selectively causing a biochemical effect (such as apoptosis) in cells that are infected by RNA viruses (such as HIV), as well as cancer cells. The RNA switch concept can be expanded to selectively treat other genetically related diseases.

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
