RNA Interference for Viral Infections [PDF]

Current Drug Targets, 2012
The treatment of viral infections has relied on pre-emptive vaccination or use of a limited range of anti-viral drugs. However, the majority of viruses have no available drugs and treatment is merely supportive. RNA interference (RNAi) offers the ability to directly and rapidly treat virus infections via the targeting of viral genes.

A functional genomic analysis of cell morphology using RNA interference [PDF]

, 2003
Background: The diversity of metazoan cell shapes is influenced by the dynamic cytoskeletal network. With the advent of RNA-interference (RNAi) technology, it is now possible to screen systematically for genes controlling specific cell-biological ...

Construction and validation of prognostic nomogram for metaplastic breast cancer

Biomolecules & Biomedicine, 2022
In this study we aimed to develop nomogram models for predicting the overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) of patients with metaplastic breast cancer (MBC). Data of patients diagnosed with MBC from 1973 to 2015 were collected from the

microRNA Therapeutics in Cancer — An Emerging Concept

EBioMedicine, 2016
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are an evolutionarily conserved class of small, regulatory non-coding RNAs that negatively regulate protein coding gene and other non-coding transcripts expression.

miR-142: A Master Regulator in Hematological Malignancies and Therapeutic Opportunities

Cells, 2023
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a type of non-coding RNA whose dysregulation is frequently associated with the onset and progression of human cancers. miR-142, an ultra-conserved miRNA with both active -3p and -5p mature strands and wide-ranging physiological ...

RNA interference: a new tool to study gene functions in adult mammalian muscle "in vivo" [PDF]

, 2003
RNA interference (RNAi) is a powerful method for sequence-specific posttranscriptional gene silencing (PTGS), which allows rapid survey of gene functions using double-stranded RNA (dsRNA).

Mal de Río Cuarto Virus Infection Triggers the Production of Distinctive Viral-Derived siRNA Profiles in Wheat and Its Planthopper Vector

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Plant reoviruses are able to multiply in gramineae plants and delphacid vectors encountering different defense strategies with unique features. This study aims to comparatively assess alterations of small RNA (sRNA) populations in both hosts upon virus ...

RNA interference-mediated co-transcriptional gene silencing in fission yeast [PDF]

, 2012
In the last decade or so, RNA interference (RNAi) has gained unanticipated recognition in the fields of RNA biology and gene regulation. It exists in a wide variety of eukaryotic organisms, and various forms of RNAi are involved in diverse biological ...

Microbiome composition modulates the lethal outcome of Drosophila A virus infection

Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences
Host-associated microbiomes can strongly influence viral infection outcomes, yet how minor variations in commensal bacterial composition modulate viral pathogenesis remain poorly understood.

Enteropathogenic E. coli shows delayed attachment and host response in human jejunum organoid‐derived monolayers compared to HeLa cells

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...
