inhibition of leishmania major ptr1 gene expression by anti-sense in escherichia coli
background: protozoa related to trypanosome family including leishmania , synthesize enzymes to escape from drug therapy. one of them is ptr1 that its enzymatic activity is similar to dihydrofolate reductase (dhfr). dihydrofolate reductase - thymidylate synthase has a major role in dna synthesis, if it is inhibited, the result would be the death of parasite. since ptr1 activity is similar to dh...
متن کاملSpecific Inhibition of the Expression of the Promyelocytic Leukemia (PML) Protein by Anti-Sense Oligonucleotides
In the present study, using anti-sense oligonucleotides the inhibition of expression of the PML protein hasbeen investigated. The anti-sense oligonucleotides were designed against the translation initiation site ofthe PML gene, and their effects were investigated on cellular growth and DNA synthesis. Incubation of normalhuman fibroblast cells with the anti-sense oligonucleotid...
متن کاملInhibition of gene expression by anti-sense C-5 propyne oligonucleotides detected by a reporter enzyme.
Using a reporter plasmid containing the luciferase gene under the control of the insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) promoter region [including its 5' untranslated region (UTR)], we demonstrate that a 17-mer oligophosphorothioate containing C-5 propyne pyrimidines is able to inhibit luciferase gene expression in the nanomolar concentration range when the anti-sense oligonucleotide is targeted ...
متن کاملInhibition of gene expression by a short sense fragment.
In order to further investigate the mechanism of antisense inhibition of gene expression, a series of plasmids which generate short antisense RNAs deriving from the 5' end of the CAT gene were constructed. When transfected into COS1 cells, these constructions were capable of specifically reducing CAT gene expression. Unexpectedly, transfection with constructions expressing defective RNA in the ...
متن کاملOligodeoxynucleotides as inhibitors of gene expression: a review.
The past several years have seen an explosive growth in the application of antisense oligodeoxynucleotides as modulators of gene expression. In this review, we discuss the various classes of compounds currently receiving attention. These include unmodified oligodeoxynucleotides, methylphosphonates, phosphorothioates, and alpha-oligonucleotides. The relative advantages and disadvantages of each ...
