The present invention provides a small interfering RNA (siRNA) that is
capable of inhibiting intracellular expression of Wnt1 through
complementary binding to a Wnt1 transcript (mRNA transcript) base
sequence and a pharmaceutical composition for treating cancer comprising
the same. siRNA of the present invention which is complementary to a base
sequence of a Wnt1 transcript (mRNA) provides apoptotic cancer cell death
due to inhibition of expression of Wnt1 commonly expressed in cancer
cells, by RNA-mediated interference (RNAi). Therefore, the composition of
the present invention comprising the same can be used as an excellent
anticancer drug.
