An anionic phthalocyanine decreases NRAS expression by breaking down its RNA G-quadruplex

Hyperactivity of the gene NRAS contributes to the proliferation and metastatic nature of many types of cancer cells. Here, the authors show that NRAS can be controlled by an anionic phthalocyanine coordinating Zn2+ in combination with photo-irradiation.
