RNA interference and small interfering RNAs.
The term aRNA interferenceo (RNAi) was coined after the groundbreaking discovery that injection of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) into the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans leads to specific silencing of genes highly homologous in sequence to the delivered dsRNA. The RNAi phenotype is either identical to the genetic null mutant or resembles an allelic series of mutants. The dsRNA can also be deliver...
متن کاملVersatile RNA Interference Nanoplatform for Systemic Delivery of RNAs
Development of nontoxic, tumor-targetable, and potent in vivo RNA delivery systems remains an arduous challenge for clinical application of RNAi therapeutics. Herein, we report a versatile RNAi nanoplatform based on tumor-targeted and pH-responsive nanoformulas (NFs). The NF was engineered by combination of an artificial RNA receptor, Zn(II)-DPA, with a tumor-targetable and drug-loadable hyalur...
متن کاملRNA interference is mediated by 21- and 22-nucleotide RNAs.
Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) induces sequence-specific posttranscriptional gene silencing in many organisms by a process known as RNA interference (RNAi). Using a Drosophila in vitro system, we demonstrate that 21- and 22-nt RNA fragments are the sequence-specific mediators of RNAi. The short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are generated by an RNase III-like processing reaction from long dsRNA. Chemic...
متن کاملInhibition of herpesvirus-6B RNA replication by short interference RNAs.
RNA interference (RNAi) is a process of sequence-specific gene silencing, which is initiated by double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). RNAi may also serve as an antiviral system in vertebrates. This study describes the inhibition of herpesvirus-6B (HHV-6B) replication by short interference RNAs (siRNAs) that are targeted to the U38 sequence that encodes DNA polymerase. When virus-infected SupT1 cells wer...
متن کاملRna Interference: Trends in Small Regulatory Rnas and Gene Silencing
RNAi pathway is a biologically conserved phenomenon which regulates the expression of genes through transcriptional or post-transcriptional gene silencing mechanism. The pathway involves the network of different proteins to degrade the target mRNA and triggered by small regulatory RNAs. These small regulatory RNAs are generated via action of dicer enzyme on long double-stranded RNA or hairpin R...
