Inhibition of gene expression by anti-sense C-5 propyne oligonucleotides detected by a reporter enzyme.
Using a reporter plasmid containing the luciferase gene under the control of the insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) promoter region [including its 5' untranslated region (UTR)], we demonstrate that a 17-mer oligophosphorothioate containing C-5 propyne pyrimidines is able to inhibit luciferase gene expression in the nanomolar concentration range when the anti-sense oligonucleotide is targeted ...
متن کاملSpecific Inhibition of the Expression of the Promyelocytic Leukemia (PML) Protein by Anti-Sense Oligonucleotides
In the present study, using anti-sense oligonucleotides the inhibition of expression of the PML protein hasbeen investigated. The anti-sense oligonucleotides were designed against the translation initiation site ofthe PML gene, and their effects were investigated on cellular growth and DNA synthesis. Incubation of normalhuman fibroblast cells with the anti-sense oligonucleotid...
متن کاملinhibition of leishmania major ptr1 gene expression by anti-sense in escherichia coli
background: protozoa related to trypanosome family including leishmania , synthesize enzymes to escape from drug therapy. one of them is ptr1 that its enzymatic activity is similar to dihydrofolate reductase (dhfr). dihydrofolate reductase - thymidylate synthase has a major role in dna synthesis, if it is inhibited, the result would be the death of parasite. since ptr1 activity is similar to dh...
متن کاملInhibition of gene expression by a short sense fragment.
In order to further investigate the mechanism of antisense inhibition of gene expression, a series of plasmids which generate short antisense RNAs deriving from the 5' end of the CAT gene were constructed. When transfected into COS1 cells, these constructions were capable of specifically reducing CAT gene expression. Unexpectedly, transfection with constructions expressing defective RNA in the ...
متن کاملInhibition of MDR1 gene expression by chimeric HNA antisense oligonucleotides.
Hexitol nucleic acids (HNAs) are nuclease resistant and provide strong hybridization to RNA. However, there is relatively little information on the biological properties of HNA antisense oligonucleotides. In this study, we compared the antisense effects of a chimeric HNA 'gapmer' oligonucleotide comprising a phosphorothioate central sequence flanked by 5' and 3' HNA sequences to conventional ph...
