Intended transcriptional silencing with siRNA results in gene repression through sequence-specific off-targeting.
Transcriptional gene silencing has been reported with siRNA targeting the promoter region of genes. We tested several siRNAs directed against the human VEGF promoter. Of these, siVFp(-992) exhibited > or =50% suppression of VEGF production in two human cell lines. To determine the specificity of this siRNA-mediated suppression, plasmids were prepared to express a luciferase reporter under the c...
متن کاملPost-transcriptional gene silencing: conservation and sequences.
genic bacterium notorious for its ability to redirect the plant metabolism to meet the pathogen’s gourmandise. This is achieved by the stable genetic modification of the host plant after integration of the bacterial T-DNA into the plant genome, a unique example of interkingdom DNA transfer. The T-DNA stems from the bacterial tumor-inducing (Ti) plasmid and travels as a single-stranded molecule ...
متن کاملVirus-Induced Gene Silencing, a Post Transcriptional Gene Silencing Method
Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) is one of the reverse genetics tools for analysis of gene function that uses viral vectors carrying a target gene fragment to produce dsRNA which trigger RNA-mediated gene silencing. There are a number of viruses which have been modified to silence the gene of interest effectively with a sequence-specific manner. Therefore, different types of methodologies ha...
متن کاملMechanistic Characterization of Post-transcriptional Gene Silencing
With the ongoing task of identifying and characterizing genes in the human genome, there is a great demand for tools to study these genes. Today, reverse genetics is the most effective way to explore gene function. This involves suppression of the gene of interest by a set of manipulation techniques. In addition to this, many conditions like viral infections, cancers and cardio-vascular disease...
متن کاملTissue-specific gene silencing monitored in circulating RNA.
Pharmacologic target gene modulation is the primary objective for RNA antagonist strategies and gene therapy. Here we show that mRNAs encoding tissue-specific gene transcripts can be detected in biological fluids and that RNAi-mediated target gene silencing in the liver and brain results in quantitative reductions in serum and cerebrospinal fluid mRNA levels, respectively. Further, administrati...
