RNA interference (RNAi) or gene silencing technology is a phenomenon by which double stranded RNAs elicit degradation of a target mRNA containing homologous sequence. It is essentially a new incarnation of well-established antisense principle. This technology enables the researchers to trigger post-transcriptional gene silencing in vivo. It is a robust method for lowering specific protein level...
RNA plays complex roles in normal health and disease and is becoming an important target for therapeutic intervention; accordingly, therapeutic strategies that modulate RNA function have gained great interest over the past decade. Antisense oligonucleotides (AOs) are perhaps the most promising strategy to modulate RNA expression through a variety of post binding events such as gene silencing th...
Condensing enzymes are essential in type II fatty acid synthesis and are promising targets for antibacterial drug discovery. Recently, a new approach using a xylose-inducible plasmid to express antisense RNA in Staphylococcus aureus has been described; however, the actual mechanism was not delineated. In this paper, the mechanism of decreased target protein production by expression of antisense...
Previous results have indicated that Rous sarcoma virus env gene expression is specifically inhibited by antisense RNA (L.-J. Chang and C. M. Stoltzfus, Mol. Cell. Biol. 5:2341-2348, 1985). In this study, we compare the extents of inhibition by antisense RNA derived from different parts of the Rous sarcoma virus genome, and we show that antisense constructs containing the 3'-end noncoding regio...
Eukaryotic topoisomerase I (TOP1), a DNA unwinding enzyme, plays an essential role in several cellular functions; however, regulation of TOP1 activity remains unknown. In an effort to identify potential regulators of TOP1 activity, the transcriptional activity of a TOP1 pseudogene in chromosome 1 was studied. By using primers unique to the TOP1 pseudogene, strand-specific polymerase chain react...
Antisense transcription, considered until recently as transcriptional noise, is a very common phenomenon in human and eukaryotic transcriptomes, operating in two ways based on whether the antisense RNA acts in cis or in trans. This process can generate long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), one of the most diverse classes of cellular transcripts, which have demonstrated multifunctional roles in fundam...
Numerous genetic studies have been conducted regarding the occurrence of colorectal cancer (CRC) and the prognosis using microarrays. However, adequate investigations into the diagnostic application of microarrays have yet to be performed. The simplicity and accuracy of diagnosis and prognosis tracking are important requirements for its processes, and the use of blood cells for diagnosis is con...
We describe a general antisense strategy to inhibit target gene expression. The substitution of a cis-acting ribozyme for a polyadenylylation signal in an antisense expression vector results in the nuclear retention of RNAs and the efficient degradation of their targets. We demonstrate the utility of this system in polyoma virus, where early-strand RNA levels are downregulated in the nucleus by...
The majority of mouse genes are estimated to undergo bidirectional transcription; however, their tissue-specific distribution patterns and physiological significance are largely unknown. This is in part due to the lack of methodology to routinely assess the expression of natural antisense transcripts (NATs) on a large scale. Here we tested whether commercial DNA arrays can be used to monitor an...
Antisense RNA complementary to a putative helicase gene (hel3.1) of a cos-type Streptococcus thermophilus bacteriophage was used to impede the proliferation of a number of cos-type S. thermophilus bacteriophages and one pac-type bacteriophage. The putative helicase gene is a component of the Sfi21-type DNA replication module, which is found in a majority of the S. thermophilus bacteriophages of...
