Specific interference by ingested dsRNA
A genetic interference phenomenon in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has been described in which expression of an individual gene can be specifically reduced by microinjecting a corresponding fragment of double-stranded (ds) RNA1. One striking feature of this process is a spreading effect: interference in a broad region of the animal is observed ...

Structural insights into dsRNA processing by Drosophila Dicer-2–Loqs-PD
Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are the key components for RNA interference (RNAi), a conserved RNA-silencing mechanism in many eukaryotes1,2. In Drosophila, an RNase III enzyme Dicer-2 (Dcr-2), aided by its cofactor Loquacious-PD (Loqs-PD), has an ...

The escape of mitochondrial double-stranded dsRNA (mt-dsRNA) into the cytosol has been recently linked to a number of inflammatory diseases. Here, we report that the release of mt-dsRNA into the cytosol is a general feature of senescent cells and a ...

We show that DNA methyltransferase inhibitors (DNMTis) upregulate immune signaling in cancer through the viral defense pathway. In ovarian cancer (OC), DNMTis trigger cytosolic sensing of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) causing a type I interferon response ...

Application of Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) Produced by E. coli HT115 (DE3) and Vector L4440 in Reverse Genetics Studies in Insects [PDF]
RNA interference is a cellular process for regulating gene expression by double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). In the past two decades, this cellular process has been used as a tool for the temporary knockdown of gene expression to study gene function in reverse ...

The Functional Mechanisms of Toll-Like Receptor 3 and Its Implications in Digestive System Tumors
Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) is a prominent member of the Toll-like receptor (TLR) family and has the ability to recognize and bind intracellular double-stranded RNA (dsRNA).
