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.

Short Hairpin RNAs for Strand-Specific Small Interfering RNA Production

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020
RNA interference (RNAi) is an effective mechanism for inhibiting gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. Expression of a messenger RNA (mRNA) can be inhibited by a ∼22-nucleotide (nt) small interfering (si)RNA with the corresponding reverse ...

Inhibition of hepatitis C virus RNA replication by ISG15 does not require its conjugation to protein substrates by the HERC5 E3 ligase [PDF]

, 2015
Chronic infection of the liver by hepatitis C virus (HCV) induces a range of host factors including IFN-stimulated genes such as ISG15. ISG15 functions as an antiviral factor that limits virus replication. Previous studies have suggested that ISG15 could

Effect of silencing on proliferation and apoptosis of melanoma cells: An in vivo and in vitro study

Tumor Biology, 2017
This study aimed to investigate the effect of SOCS1 silencing on the proliferation and apoptosis of melanoma cells by in vivo and in vitro studies. Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect SOCS1 expression in melanoma tissues and pigmented nevi ...

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

A small RNA response at DNA ends in Drosophila [PDF]

, 2012
Small RNAs have been implicated in numerous cellular processes, including effects on chromatin structure and the repression of transposons. We describe the generation of a small RNA response at DNA ends in Drosophila that is analogous to the recently ...

RNA Interference by Production of Short Hairpin dsRNA in ES Cells, Their Differentiated Derivatives, and in Somatic Cell Lines [PDF]

, 2003
dsRNA of several hundred nucleotides in length is effective at interfering with gene expression in mouse oocytes, pre-implantation embryos, and embryonic stem (ES) cells but is not as efficient in differentiated cell lines.
