Description
Multiple experiments were conducted to measure the effectiveness of certain genes on cell growth. In the exploration of this process, RAC3 acted as the target gene and was applied to both SOX18 overexpressing and normal expressing cells (control). RAC3 is a gene that typically controls the intercellular signaling pathway of a cell. This means it helps with the movement of cells and allows for migration.The purpose of these experiments were to determine how the gene RAC3 would work when introduced to carcinogenic cells, specifically Ewing Sarcoma. Typically, RAC3 acts as a messenger for the cell, but when in conjunction with cancer cells, it acts as pathway that controls cell growth in response to disease. By Targeting RAC3 inside of the ES cells that are overexpressed with SOX18, there should be an efficacy in the knockdown of the overexpressing genes. Thus, Ewing Sarcoma will no longer be able to produce cancer causing cells.
