RNA interference approaches for treatment of HIV-1 infection. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
HIV/AIDS is a chronic and debilitating disease that cannot be cured with current antiretroviral drugs. While combinatorial antiretroviral therapy (cART) can potently suppress HIV-1 replication and delay the onset of AIDS, viral mutagenesis often leads to

Expression, Purification, and Analysis of Recombinant Drosophila Dicer-1 and Dicer-2 Enzymes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
RNA interference (RNAi) is a form of posttranscriptional gene silencing mediated by microRNA (miRNA) and small interfering RNA (siRNA). In Drosophila melanogaster, the RNase III enzymes Dicer-1 and Dicer-2 generate miRNA and siRNA, respectively. We describe the methods for the expression, purification, and analysis of recombinant Dicer-1 and Dicer-2 ...

Intracellular microRNA expression patterns influence cell death fates for both necrosis and apoptosis

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, 2020
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNA molecules that interact with target mRNAs at specific sites to induce cleavage of the mRNA or inhibit translation.

Global discovery and characterization of small non-coding RNAs in marine microalgae [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Background Marine phytoplankton are responsible for 50% of the CO2 that is fixed annually worldwide and contribute massively to other biogeochemical cycles in the oceans. Diatoms and coccolithophores play a significant role as the base of the marine food

Distinct Roles for Drosophila Dicer-1 and Dicer-2 in the siRNA/miRNA Silencing Pathways [PDF]

open access: yesCell, 2004
The RNase III enzyme Dicer processes RNA into siRNAs and miRNAs, which direct a RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) to cleave mRNA or block its translation (RNAi). We have characterized mutations in the Drosophila dicer-1 and dicer-2 genes. Mutation in dicer-1 blocks processing of miRNA precursors, whereas dicer-2 mutants are defective for processing ...

Sonication‐Assisted Palladium Nanogaps in a Capacitive Structure: A Tunable and Reliable Solution for Sensitive Hydrogen Monitoring

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a capacitive hydrogen sensor with a simple structure and process. Sonication‐induced Pd nanogaps modulate the effective electrode area in response to hydrogen concentration, resulting in capacitance changes within a range predefined by physical parameters.

Mammalian Dicer finds a partner [PDF]

open access: yesEMBO reports, 2005
RNA interference (RNAi) is a complex process that uses small RNAs of 21–23 nucleotides to guide sequence‐specific silencing of genetic information at both the transcriptional and post‐transcriptional levels. There are two main post‐transcriptional gene‐silencing pathways in metazoans: the microRNA (miRNA)‐mediated inhibition of translation and the ...

Reconfigurable Nucleic Acid Nanoparticles with Therapeutic RNAi Responses to Intracellular Disease Markers

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Many known diseases arise from dysregulated gene expression, and differentially expressed genes can serve as biomarkers to distinguish diseased cells from healthy tissues. In this study, reconfigurable nucleic acid nanoparticles (recNANPs) are introduced that can detect overexpressed cancer biomarkers and subsequently release RNAi inducers to silence ...

Cause or Effect: Misregulation of MicroRNA Pathways in Neurodegeneration

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2012
During normal aging or neurodegenerative diseases, neuronal survival and function depend on protein homeostasis, which is regulated by multiple mechanisms, including the microRNA (miRNA) pathway.
