RNA interference: the new somatic cell genetics?
RNAi is evolving into a powerful tool for manipulating gene expression in mammalian cells with potential utility for investigating gene function, for high-throughput, function-based genetic screens and potentially for development as a therapeutic tool.
متن کاملEndogenous RNA Interference Provides a Somatic Defense against Drosophila Transposons
BACKGROUND Because of the mutagenic consequences of mobile genetic elements, elaborate defenses have evolved to restrict their activity. A major system that controls the activity of transposable elements (TEs) in flies and vertebrates is mediated by Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs), which are approximately 24-30 nucleotide RNAs that are bound by Piwi-class effectors. The piRNA system is thought t...
متن کاملEnhancement of RNA Interference Effect in P19 EC Cells by an RNA-dependent RNA Polymerase
Background: RNA interference (RNAi) is a phenomenon uses double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) to specifically inhibit gene expression. The non-specific silencing caused by interferon response to dsRNA in mammalian cells limits the potential of utilizing RNAi to study gene function. Duplexes of 21-nucleotide short interfering dsRNA (siRNA) inhibit gene expression by RNAi. In some organisms, siRNA can als...

متن کاملSearching for targets: the power of somatic cell genetics.
The efficacy of a therapeutic drug is measured by its potency and selectivity. Therefore, an important aspect of any new therapeutic approach for the treatment of cancer is the identification of traits that distinguish the normal cells of the body from the tumor cells. Modern molecular genetics has developed powerful methods for distinguishing mutant cells from nonmutant cells, even unmasking s...
