Gene silencing by RNAi in mouse Sertoli cells
BACKGROUND RNA interference (RNAi) is a valuable tool in the investigation of gene function. The purpose of this study was to examine the availability, target cell types and efficiency of RNAi in the mouse seminiferous epithelium. METHODS The experimental model was based on transgenic mice expressing EGFP (enhanced green fluorescent protein). RNAi was induced by in vivo transfection of plasmi...
متن کاملGene Silencing in Insect Cells Using RNAi.
A technique is described for synthesizing and transfecting double stranded RNA (dsRNA) for RNA interference (RNAi) in Sf-21 cell culture. Transfection with dsRNA only requires an hour and the cells usually recover within 12 h. Suggestions for designing dsRNA are included in the methods. Furthermore, websites are provided for rapid and effective dsRNA design. Three kits are essential for using t...
متن کاملSugarcane Mosaic Virus-Based Gene Silencing in Nicotiana benthamiana
Background:Potyvirus-based virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) is used for knocking down the expression of a target gene in numerous plant species. Sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) is a monopartite, positive single strand RNA virus. Objectives:pBINTRA6 vector was modified by inserting a gene segment of SCMV in place of Tobacco rattle virus (TRV) genome part 1 (TRV1 or RNA1)...
متن کاملAnalysis of insulin signalling by RNAi-based gene silencing.
Using siRNA-mediated gene silencing in cultured adipocytes, we have dissected the insulin-signalling pathway leading to translocation of GLUT4 glucose transporters to the plasma membrane. RNAi (RNA interference)-based depletion of components in the putative TC10 pathway (CAP, CrkII and c-Cbl plus Cbl-b) or the phospholipase Cgamma pathway failed to diminish insulin signalling to GLUT4. Within t...
متن کاملReference Gene Selection in Adipose and Muscle Tissues of Fat-tailed Lori-Bakhtiari Lambs
BACKGROUND: Fat-tailed sheep breeds have a unique ability to tolerate periods of negative energy balance due to seasonal changes in feed availability. This ability is attributed to presence of fat-tail as a body energy reserve, however the exact underlying mechanisms controlling the response of adipose tissue depots to variations in energy balance in fat-tailed breeds a...
