Designing Antisense Oligonucleotides
Antisense oligonucleotides have been used for a number of years to modify the expression of specific genes both in vivo and in vitro (Scanlon et al., 1995). The most potent mode of antisense activity is through RNase H–mediated degradation of RNA (Figure 1). The RNase H– endonuclease specifically cleaves RNA only when it is hybridized as a heteroduplex with DNA. In general, oligonucleotides tha...
متن کاملMeeting report: antisense oligonucleotides.
The use of antisense oligonucleotides as a therapeutic tool in modulating gene expression represents a newly established strategy for treating diseases. Such oligomers may be designed to complement a region of a specific gene or messenger RNA. Using this approach, oligonucleotides can serve as a potential block of transcription or translation through sequence-specific hybridization with targete...
متن کاملStem Cell Therapy in Pediatric Neurological Disorders
Pediatric neurological disorders including muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, and spinal cord injury are defined as a heterogenous group of diseases, of which some are known to be genetic. The two significant features represented for stem cells, leading to distinguish them from other cell types are addressed as below: they can renew themselves besides the ability to differentiate into cells wi...
