Light-dependent RNA interference with nucleobase-caged siRNAs.
Within the past years RNA interference (RNAi) has become one of the most valuable tools for post-transcriptional gene silencing. Making RNAi temporally and/or spatially controllable would even enlarge its scope of application. Attaching a light-removable protection group to siRNAs is a very promising approach to achieve this control over RNAi. It has been reported that modifying siRNA nucleobas...
متن کاملEnhancement 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: Endogenous siRNAs Derived from Transposable Elements
The Piwi-interacting RNA interference pathway plays an important role in suppressing transposable elements in the Drosophila germline. Now, deep sequencing of short RNAs from somatic tissue and cell culture has identified a novel class of endogenous siRNAs that may have a similar role in the soma.
متن کاملCell-specific RNA interference by peptide-inhibited-peptidase-activated siRNAs
The use of chemically-synthesized short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) is the key method of choice to manipulate gene expression in mammalian cell cultures and in vivo. Several previous studies have aimed at inducing cell-specific RNA interference (RNAi) in order to use siRNA molecules as therapeutic reagents. Here, we used peptide-inhibited siRNAs that were activated after cleavage by cell-specific...
متن کاملRNA interference in mammalian cells using siRNAs synthesized with T7 RNA polymerase.
Methods that allow the specific silencing of a desired gene are invaluable tools for research. One of these is based on RNA interference (RNAi), a process by which double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) specifically suppresses the expression of a target mRNA. Recently, it has been reported that RNAi also works in mammalian cells if small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are used to avoid activation of the interf...
