Scavenger Receptor Mediates Systemic RNA Interference in Ticks
RNA interference is an efficient method to silence gene and protein expressions. Here, the class B scavenger receptor CD36 (SRB) mediated the uptake of exogenous dsRNAs in the induction of the RNAi responses in ticks. Unfed female Haemaphysalis longicornis ticks were injected with a single or a combination of H. longicornis SRB (HlSRB) dsRNA, vitellogenin-1 (HlVg-1) dsRNA, and vitellogenin rece...
متن کاملRNA Interference in Ticks
Ticks are obligate hematophagous ectoparasites of wild and domestic animals and humans, and are considered to be second worldwide to mosquitoes as vectors of human diseases(1) and the most important vectors affecting cattle industry worldwide(2). Ticks are classified in the subclass Acari, order Parasitiformes, suborder Ixodida and are distributed worldwide from Arctic to tropical regions(3). D...
متن کاملInhibition of hepatic scavenger receptor-class B type I by RNA interference decreases atherosclerosis in rabbits
OBJECTIVE Scavenger receptor-class B type I (SR-BI), the receptor for HDL-cholesterol, plays a key role in HDL metabolism, whole body cholesterol homeostasis, and reverse cholesterol transport. We investigated the in vivo impact of hepatic SR-BI inhibition on lipoprotein metabolism and the development of atherosclerosis employing RNA interference. METHODS Small hairpin RNA plasmid specific fo...
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 کاملRNA Interference: Systemic RNAi SIDes with Endosomes
Systemic RNAi, the intercellular spreading of RNAi silencing, requires SID-1 and SID-3 to import silencing signals in Caenorhabditis elegans. How are these signals exported? SID-5, an endosome-associated protein, is a candidate for the job.
