Intended transcriptional silencing with siRNA results in gene repression through sequence-specific off-targeting.
Transcriptional gene silencing has been reported with siRNA targeting the promoter region of genes. We tested several siRNAs directed against the human VEGF promoter. Of these, siVFp(-992) exhibited > or =50% suppression of VEGF production in two human cell lines. To determine the specificity of this siRNA-mediated suppression, plasmids were prepared to express a luciferase reporter under the c...
متن کاملSticky overhangs enhance siRNA-mediated gene silencing.
siRNA delivery to cells offers a convenient and powerful means of gene silencing that bypasses several barriers met by gene delivery. However, nonviral vectors, and especially polymers, form looser complexes with siRNA than with plasmid DNA. As a consequence, exchange of siRNA for larger polymeric anions such as proteoglycans found outside cells and at their surface may occur and lower delivery...
متن کاملTargeting HPV‐infected cervical cancer cells with PEGylated liposomes encapsulating siRNA and the role of siRNA complexation with polyethylenimine
The greatest obstacle to clinical application of cancer gene therapy is lack of effective delivery tools. Gene delivery vehicles must protect against degradation, avoid immunogenic effects and prevent off target delivery which can cause harmful side effects. PEGylated liposomes have greatly improved tumor localization of small molecule drugs and are a promising tool for nucleic acid delivery as...
متن کاملBrd4 links chromatin targeting to HPV transcriptional silencing.
The E2 protein encoded by human papillomaviruses (HPVs) inhibits expression of the viral E6 oncoprotein, which, in turn, regulates p53 target gene transcription. To identify cellular proteins involved in E2-mediated transcriptional repression, we isolated an E2 complex from human cells conditionally expressing HPV-11 E2. Surprisingly, the double bromodomain-containing protein Brd4, which is imp...
متن کاملrorc2 gene silencing in human th17 cells by sirna: design and evaluation of highly efficient sirna
background: rna interference-based gene silencing has recently been applied as an efficient tool for functional gene analysis. rorc2 is the key transcription factor orchestrating th17 cells differentiation, the cells that are known as the pathogenic elements in various autoimmune diseases. the aim of this study was to design efficient sirnas specific for rorc2 and to evaluate different criteria...
