Enhancement of RNA Interference Effect in P19 EC Cells by an RNA-dependent RNA Polymerase
Background: RNA interference (RNAi) is a phenomenon uses double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) to specifically inhibit gene expression. The non-specific silencing caused by interferon response to dsRNA in mammalian cells limits the potential of utilizing RNAi to study gene function. Duplexes of 21-nucleotide short interfering dsRNA (siRNA) inhibit gene expression by RNAi. In some organisms, siRNA can als...
متن کاملRNA interference in parasitic nematodes of animals: a reality check?
RNA interference (RNAi) is widely used in Caenorhabditis elegans to identify gene function and has been adapted as a high-throughput screening method to identify genes involved in essential processes. The technique has been applied to parasitic nematodes with variable success and we believe that inconsistent outcomes preclude its use as a robust screen with which to identify potential control t...
متن کاملCaenorhabditis elegans SID-2 is required for environmental RNA interference.
In plants and in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, an RNAi signal can trigger gene silencing in cells distant from the site where silencing is initiated. In plants, this signal is known to be a form of dsRNA, and the signal is most likely a form of dsRNA in C. elegans as well. Furthermore, in C. elegans, dsRNA present in the environment or expressed in ingested bacteria is sufficient to trig...
متن کاملan introduction to rna interference (rnai)
the discovery of rna interference (rnai) in recent years has revolutionized biological and medical research. rnai is the sequence-specific gene silencing triggered by double-stranded rna (dsrna). until a couple of years ago only biologists working with caenorhabditis elegans and plants could use rnai technology to gain insight into gene function……
