Overview

SLC7A11 siRNA is a preclinical RNA interference (RNAi) therapeutic designed to silence the expression of the SLC7A11 gene, also known as xCT. SLC7A11 is a critical component of the cystine/glutamate antiporter system, which is frequently upregulated in KRAS-mutant pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) to maintain redox homeostasis and promote chemoresistance. By specifically knocking down SLC7A11, this siRNA reduces the glutathione (GSH) pool, elevates oxidative stress (lipid ROS), and suppresses tumorigenic traits such as migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Furthermore, SLC7A11 silencing has been shown to downregulate SMAD signaling by reducing the stability of receptor-regulated SMADs (R-SMADs), effectively overcoming gemcitabine resistance in KRAS-driven pancreatic cancer models.
