to target

English term or phrase: to target
"target" como verbo en este caso seria "dirigirse a"?

La frase completa es:
"Figure B; 4T1 cells expressing non-silencing shRNA or shRNA targeting CAIX."

Seria "dirigidas a ACIX" o "que atacan ACIX"?

Otro ejemplo es:
"These data show the ability of sulfonamide-based CAIX inhibitors to specifically target CAIX-expressing human breast tumors."

Seria:

"Estos datos muestran la capacidad de los inhibidores de ACIX basados en sulfonamidas de dirigirse específicamente a los tumores de mama humanos que expresan ACIX."

Se entiende "dirigirse a" o seria "atacar"?

Spanish translation:dirigirse específicamente a XXX, selecionar XXX como diana
Explanation:
Atacar no me suena muy bien.
La traducción de la segunda frase me parece correcta. Para la primera usaría: ..."cuya diana es ACIX"

agree  Neil Ashby: "atacar" tendrá entonaciones de destrución y a lo mejor los inhibidores solo "apagar" la expresión... a mi "dirigirse" suena bien!
