Multimodal targets of (‐)‐α‐thujone mediating avoidance behavior of a stored‐products pest, Tribolium castaneum, in response to irritant stimuli

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
We identified four kinds of target molecules against (‐)‐α‐thujone associating avoidance behavior in Tribolium castaneum, indicating multimodality. Abstract BACKGROUND The reciprocal evolutionary processes among phytophagous insects and host plants involve host shift in the herbivorous insects in response to defense chemicals, such as plant‐derived ...

Protective Effects of Long Double-Stranded RNA with Different CpG Motifs against Miamiensis avidus and Viral Hemorrhagic Septicemia Virus (VHSV) Infections in Olive Flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus)

Fishes
The South Korean aquaculture industry has incurred considerable production losses due to various infectious diseases. Artificially synthesized polyinosinic–polycytidylic acid (poly I:C), structurally similar to double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) and cytidine ...

Differential utilization of NF-kappaB RELA and RELB in response to extracellular versus intracellular polyIC stimulation in HT1080 cells

BMC Immunology, 2011
Background Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) for double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) are components of innate immunity that recognize the presence of viral infection and initiate efficient defense mechanisms.

Identification of broadly expressed nervous system‐related genes as effective RNAi targets in the brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Broadly expressed genes outperformed brain‐enriched neural targets as RNAi candidates in Halyomorpha halys. Microinjection of dsRNA targeting alpha‐soluble NSF attachment protein (Asnap) or Ras opposite protein (Rop) caused strong feeding suppression and near‐complete mortality, identifying them as promising targets for future oral or spray‐based RNAi ...

Dose‐dependent efficacy of a novel dsRNA‐based solution containing vadescana for Varroa destructor control

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Vadescana is a novel dsRNA‐based product that targets Varroa fecundity. Vadescana applied at 4 g/brood box in one application was most effective at reducing Varroa populations for up to 18 weeks. Abstract BACKGROUND A novel dsRNA‐based product, containing a molecule called vadescana, interferes with Varroa destructor (Anderson and Trueman) fecundity ...

Exogenous Application of IR-Specific dsRNA Inhibits Infection of Cucumber Green Mottle Mosaic Virus in Watermelon

Agronomy
Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV) represents a serious threat in the production of watermelon. Small RNAs facilitate a mechanism known as RNA interference (RNAi), which regulates gene expression.

Transcriptomic resources and functional validation of RNAi in the cabbage seedpod weevil, Ceutorhynchus obstrictus

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Transcriptome sequencing of Ceutorhynchus obstrictus revealed RNA interference (RNAi) targets; double‐stranded RNA microinjection reduced transcript levels and increased mortality, with αCOP and Rop showing strongest lethal effects, indicating promising RNAi‐based pest control candidates.

PACT prevents aberrant activation of PKR by endogenous dsRNA without sequestration

Nature Communications
The innate immune sensor PKR for double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) is critical for antiviral defense, but its aberrant activation by cellular dsRNA is linked to various diseases.

Research progress on immune mechanism and control strategy of dsRNA impurities in mRNA vaccine

Expert Review of Vaccines
Introduction Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) is a key impurity of mRNA vaccines prepared by in vitro transcription (IVT) and is primarily transcribed by T7 RNA polymerase.

RNA‐DNA Fusomer Fibers With Customizable Physicochemical, Mechanical, and Biological Properties for Next‐Generation Therapeutics

Small, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We introduce RNA‐DNA fusomers, a new class of chemically synthesized oligonucleotides that combine the versatile properties of RNA and DNA within a single sequence and self‐assemble into higher‐order functional structures via a simple one‐pot annealing reaction.
