Stroke Neuroprotection: Targeting Mitochondria
Stroke is the fourth leading cause of death and the leading cause of long-term disability in the United States. Blood flow deficit results in an expanding infarct core with a time-sensitive peri-infarct penumbra that is considered salvageable and is the primary target for treatment strategies. The only current FDA-approved drug for treating ischemic stroke is recombinant tissue plasminogen acti...
متن کاملsiRNA delivery and targeting.
RNA interference (RNAi) is one of the most dramatic findings over the past decade, and the number of publications related to RNAi increased exponentially from 5 in 1998 to more than 2400 in 2008. Generally, RNAi can be achieved by three strategies: chemical synthesized small interfering RNA (siRNA), long double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), and DNA-based (plasmid or viral vector) short hairpin RNA (shR...
متن کاملSmall interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting VEGF effectively inhibits ocular neovascularization in a mouse model.
PURPOSE RNA interference mediated by small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) is a powerful technology allowing the silencing of mamalian genes with great specificity and potency. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the feasibility of RNA interference mediated by siRNA in retinal cells in vitro and in the murine retina in vivo. METHODS siRNAs specific for enhanced green fluorescent protein (E...
متن کاملPreImplantation factor promotes neuroprotection by targeting microRNA let-7.
Dysfunction and loss of neurons are the major characteristics of CNS disorders that include stroke, multiple sclerosis, and Alzheimer's disease. Activation of the Toll-like receptor 7 by extracellular microRNA let-7, a highly expressed microRNA in the CNS, induces neuronal cell death. Let-7 released from injured neurons and immune cells acts on neighboring cells, exacerbating CNS damage. Here w...
متن کاملInhibition of retinal neovascularization by siRNA targeting VEGF165
PURPOSE To investigate whether vector-based vascular endothelial growth factor 165 (VEGF)(165) targeted siRNA expression system (pSilencer(siVEGF)) could inhibit VEGF(165) expression in vitro and suppresses retinal neovascularization in the murine model of oxygen-induced retinopathy. METHODS pSilencer(siVEGF), from which siRNA targeting VEGF(165) could be generated, was constructed and transf...
