Abstract

A screening methodology called ‘genomic screening’ was established to identify natural products that can regulate cellular gene expression. Application of genomic screening to Keishi-bukuryo-gan (KBG), a Japanese herbal medicine formulation, identified a previously unnoticed transcriptional effect by linoleic acid, a known KBG component. The approach opens up a possibility to develop cell-permeable molecular tools for functional genomics research and sets a stage to evaluate the potential of natural products for transcription therapies.
