Comparable effectiveness and immunomodulatory actions of oxaliplatin and cisplatin in electrochemotherapy of murine melanoma.
Katja Ursic,Spela Kos,Urska Kamensek,Maja Cemazar,Janez Ščančar,Simon Bucek,Simona Kranjc,Barbara Staresinic,Gregor Sersa +8 more
TL;DR: OXA is a valid platinum-based drug for use with ECT, and the effectiveness is comparable to that of the well-established ECT with CDDP.

MicroRNAs targeting mutant K-ras by electrotransfer inhibit human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell growth in vitro and in vivo.
Suzana Vidic,Bostjan Markelc,Gregor Sersa,Andrej Coer,Urska Kamensek,Gregor Tevz,Simona Kranjc,Maja Cemazar +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of microRNA (miRNA) molecules directed against K-ras on k-ras expression level and the growth of colorectal carcinoma cell line LoVo in vitro and in vivo was investigated.

Gene electrotransfer into murine skeletal muscle: a systematic analysis of parameters for long-term gene expression.
Gregor Tevz,Darja Pavlin,Urska Kamensek,Simona Kranjc,Suzana Mesojednik,Andrej Coer,Gregor Sersa,Maja Cemazar +7 more
TL;DR: Electric pulse parameters, time lag between the injection of DNA and application of electric pulses, and dose of plasmid DNA affected the duration of transgene expression in murine skeletal muscle, showing that transgenes expression in muscle can be controlled by appropriate selection of electrotransfection protocol.

Targeted delivery of siRNAs against hepatocellular carcinoma-related genes by a galactosylated polyaspartamide copolymer
Francesca Perrone,Emanuela Fabiola Craparo,Maja Cemazar,Urska Kamensek,Salvatore Emanuele Drago,Barbara Dapas,Bruna Scaggiante,Fabrizio Zanconati,Debora Bonazza,Mario Grassi,Nhung Truong,Gabriele Pozzato,Rossella Farra,Gennara Cavallaro,Gabriele Grassi +14 more
TL;DR: Functional studies using siRNAs targeting the mRNAs of HCC-related genes delivered by PDPG, significantly decreased HuH7 vitality/number and down regulated the expression of the target genes.

Gene Electrotransfer of Plasmid-Encoding IL-12 Recruits the M1 Macrophages and Antigen-Presenting Cells Inducing the Eradication of Aggressive B16F10 Murine Melanoma.
Ursa Lampreht Tratar,Luisa Loiacono,Maja Cemazar,Urska Kamensek,Vito Michele Fazio,Gregor Sersa,Emanuela Signori +6 more
TL;DR: Immune cell infiltration into the tumors and the high density of MHCII- and CD11c-positive cells suggest an antitumor polarization of macrophages and the presence of antigen-presenting cells that contributes to the important antitumors effectiveness of IL-12.
