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 ...

New Insight into Inter-kingdom Communication: Horizontal Transfer of Mobile Small RNAs
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 Small RNAs (sRNAs), including small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs), are conventionally regarded as critical molecular regulators of various intracellular processes.

The specifics of small interfering RNA specificity [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2003 The discovery of transgene silencing in plants and double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) interference in the worm Caenorhabditis elegans has led to the latest revolution in molecular biology, RNA interference (RNAi). Over 10 years ago it was noted that several transgenic plant lines each containing the same ectopic transgene not only failed to be expressed but ...

Characterization of the small RNA transcriptome of the diatom, Thalassiosira pseudonana. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 This study presents the first characterization of endogenous small RNAs in a diatom, Thalassiosira pseudonana. Small RNAs act as transcriptional and translational regulators, controlling specific target genes involved in various cellular functions ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2005 Arabidopsis thaliana contains four DICER-LIKE (DCL) genes with specialized functions in small RNA biogenesis for RNA interference-related processes. A mutant with defects in DCL4 was identified and analyzed for microRNA- and endogenous, small interfering

Oligonucleotide Therapeutics: From Discovery and Development to Patentability
Pharmaceutics, 2022 Following the first proof of concept of using small nucleic acids to modulate gene expression, a long period of maturation led, at the end of the last century, to the first marketing authorization of an oligonucleotide-based therapy.

Rotavirus gene silencing by small interfering RNAs [PDF]
EMBO reports, 2002 RNA interference is an evolutionarily conserved double‐stranded RNA‐triggered mechanism for suppressing gene expression. Rotaviruses, the leading cause of severe diarrhea in young children, are formed by three concentric layers of protein, from which the spike protein VP4 projects.

Design of Small Interfering RNAs for Antiviral Applications [PDF]
, 2011 RNA interference (RNAi) is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism for sequence-specific target RNA degradation in animals and plants, which plays an essential role in gene regulation. In addition, it is believed to function as a defense against viruses and transposons. In recent years, RNAi has become a widely used approach for studying gene function by

Unzipping and binding of small interfering RNA with single walled carbon nanotube: A platform for small interfering RNA delivery [PDF]
The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2012 In an effort to design efficient platform for siRNA delivery, we combine all atom classical and quantum simulations to study the binding of small interfering RNA (siRNA) by pristine single wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT). Our results show that siRNA strongly binds to SWCNT surface via unzipping its base-pairs and the propensity of unzipping increases with
