Rotavirus gene silencing by small interfering RNAs.
RNA interference is an evolutionarily conserved double-stranded RNA-triggered mechanism for suppressing gene expression. Rotaviruses, the leading cause of severe diarrhea in young children, are formed by three concentric layers of protein, from which the spike protein VP4 projects. Here, we show that a small interfering RNA corresponding to the VP4 gene efficiently inhibits the synthesis of thi...

متن کاملInhibition of human cytomegalovirus DNA replication by small interfering RNAs targeted to UL49.
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a ubiquitous virus. Although the infection in healthy children and adults is usually asymptomatic, in immunocompromised individuals and newborns it is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. UL49, an essential gene of HCMV, is highly conserved among various HCMV strains. The expression of UL49 is correlated with the production of virions. When UL49 is inh...
متن کاملInhibition of hepatitis C virus infection in cell culture by small interfering RNAs.
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a major cause of chronic liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma, yet fully efficacious treatments are missing. In this study, we investigated RNA interference (RNAi), a specific gene silencing process mediated by small interfering RNA (siRNA) duplexes, as an antiviral strategy against HCV. Synthetic siRNAs were designed to target conserved sequences of t...
متن کاملDelivery and inhibition of reporter genes by small interfering RNAs in a mouse skin model.
RNA interference offers the potential of a novel therapeutic approach for treating skin disorders. To this end, we investigated delivery of nucleic acids, including a plasmid expressing the reporter gene luciferase, to mouse skin by intradermal injection into footpads using in vivo bioluminescence imaging over multiple time points. In order to evaluate the ability of RNA interference to inhibit...
