Antisense-based molecules targeting HIV-1 RNA have the potential to be used as part of gene or drug therapy to treat HIV-1 infection. In this study, HIV-1 RNA was screened to identify more conserved and accessible target sites for ribozymes based on the hepatitis delta virus motif. Using a quantitative screen for effects on HIV-1 production, we identified a ribozyme targeting a highly conserved...
A remarkable revolution is occurring in biomedical science that is likely to have profound implications for the way we treat human diseases in the future. In the past 2 years, we have learned that introduction of short double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) molecules into vertebrate cells can silence any gene homologous to the dsRNA. This process is called RNA interference (RNAi) and is based on the abili...
RNA interference (RNAi) technology provides a powerful molecular tool to reduce an expression of selected genes in eukaryotic cells. Short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are the effector molecules that trigger RNAi. Here, we describe siRNAs that discriminate between the wild type and mutant (1174 C→G) alleles of human Presenilin1 gene (PSEN1). This mutation, resulting in L392V PSEN1 variant, contrib...
Gene therapy may be of benefit in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-infected individuals by virtue of its ability to inhibit virus replication and prevent viral gene expression. It is not known whether anti-HIV-1 gene therapy strategies based on antisense or transdominant HIV-1 mutant proteins can inhibit the replication and expression of clinical HIV-1 isolates in primary CD4+ T lymp...
Retroviruses display a strong selective pressure to maintain the dimeric nature of their genomic RNAs, suggesting that dimerization is essential for viral replication. Recently, we identified the cis-element required for initiation of human immunodeficiency virus type I (HIV-I) RNA dimerization in vitro. The dimerization initiation site (DIS) is a hairpin structure containing a self-complementa...
There is an increasing interest in being able to document simultaneous levels of multiple mRNAs from limited amounts of mammalian tissue. The combination of amplified antisense RNA (aRNA) and reverse Northern blot analysis is one technology that allows the measurement of relative levels of multiple mRNAs. However, potential problems exist with this approach, such as (i) unknown amplification ef...
Specific gene silencing has been demonstrated in a number of organisms by the introduction of antisense RNA. Mutagenesis of host-encoded factors has begun to unravel the mechanism of several forms of RNA-mediated gene silencing and has suggested that it may have been conserved through evolution. This has led to the identification of certain host genes, which, when mutated, abrogate this phenome...
Human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) leader RNA, which contains double-stranded regions due to inverted repeats, was shown to activate the dsRNA-dependent enzymes associated with the interferon system. HIV-1 leader RNA produced in vitro using SP6 RNA polymerase was characterized using probes for antisense and sense-strand RNA. The RNA preparation was free from significant levels of antisense ...
Oncoretroviral vectors were engineered to allow constitutive expression of an antisense RNA and the trans-activator of transcription (Tat)-inducible expression of a mRNA containing the trans-activation response (TAR) element, the Rev response element (RRE), and the efficient packaging signal (Psi(e) of human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) RNA. Nuclear export of this mRNA by the regulator of e...
