Therapeutic opportunities of small interfering RNA [PDF]
Fundamental & Clinical Pharmacology, 2009 AbstractFormation of small interfering RNA (siRNA) occurs in two steps involving binding of the RNA nucleases to a large double‐stranded RNA (dsRNA) and its cleavage into fragments called siRNA. In the second step, these siRNAs join a multinuclease complex, which degrades the homologous single‐stranded mRNAs.

Small interfering RNAs in the management of human osteoporosis
British Medical Bulletin, 2023 Abstract Background Osteoporosis results in reduced bone mass and consequent bone fragility. Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) can be used for therapeutic purposes, as molecular targets or as useful markers to test new therapies. Sources of data

Endogenous small interfering RNAs in animals [PDF]
Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology, 2008 Until recently, only nematodes among animals had a well-defined endogenous small interfering RNA (endo-siRNA) pathway. This has changed dramatically with the recent discovery of diverse intramolecular and intermolecular substrates that generate endo-siRNAs in Drosophila melanogaster and mice.

Updates in Small Interfering RNA for the Treatment of Dyslipidemias
Current Atherosclerosis Reports, 2023 Abstract Purpose of Review Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is still the leading cause of death worldwide. Despite excellent pharmacological approaches, clinical registries consistently show that many people with dyslipidemia do not achieve optimal management, and many of them are treated with low-intensity

Therapeutic potential of small interfering RNAs/micro interfering RNA in hepatocellular carcinoma [PDF]
World Journal of Gastroenterology, 2015 Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the predominant form of primary liver cancer and represents the third leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Current available therapeutic approaches are poorly effective, especially for the advanced forms of the disease.

Small interfering RNA against BCR-ABL transcripts sensitize mutated T315I cells to nilotinib
Haematologica, 2010 Background Selective inhibition of the BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase by RNA interference has been demonstrated in leukemic cells. We, therefore, evaluated specific BCR-ABL small interfering RNA silencing in BCR-ABL-positive cell lines, including those ...

An endogenous small interfering RNA pathway in Drosophila [PDF]
Nature, 2008 Drosophila endogenous small RNAs are categorized according to their mechanisms of biogenesis and the Argonaute protein to which they bind. MicroRNAs are a class of ubiquitously expressed RNAs of approximately 22 nucleotides in length, which arise from structured precursors through the action of Drosha-Pasha and Dicer-1-Loquacious complexes.

The optimal concentration of siRNA for gene silencing in primary cultured astrocytes and microglial cells of rats [PDF]
Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2010 BackgroundSmall interfering RNAs (siRNAs) have been used to knockdown specific gene expression in various cells. Astrocytes and microglial cells play a key role in fundamental central nervous system functions and in chronic neuroinflammation. The aims of
