چکیده
Recent years have witnessed a remarkable increase in our knowledge and understanding of the genetics and molecular biology of human diseases. During the past 2 decades, technologic innovations revolutionized molecular and cell biology. Significant progress in the understanding of the molecular– genetic mechanisms of many diseases has been achieved with the advent of the modern molecular–biologic assays. The development of transgenic animal models of human diseases, which allow the molecular basis of the disease to be studied in a living organism, has provided

Molecular imaging of gene expression in living subjects by spliceosome-mediated RNA trans-splicing.
Spliceosome-mediated RNA trans-splicing (SMaRT) provides an effective means to reprogram mRNAs and the proteins they encode. SMaRT technology has a broad range of applications, including RNA repair and molecular imaging, each governed by the nature of the sequences delivered by the pre-trans-splicing molecule. Here, we show the ability of SMaRT to optically image the expression of an exogenous ...
متن کاملA generalizable strategy for imaging pre-mRNA levels in living subjects using spliceosome-mediated RNA trans-splicing.
UNLABELLED Molecular imaging of gene expression is currently hindered by the lack of a generalizable platform for probe design. For any gene of interest, a probe that targets protein levels must often be generated empirically. Targeting gene expression at the level of mRNA, however, would allow probes to be built on the basis of sequence information alone. Presented here is a class of generaliz...

Pre-mRNA splicing is an essential step for gene expression in higher eukaryotes. The splicing efficiency of individual exons is determined by multiple features involving gene architecture, a variety of cis-acting elements within the exons and flanking introns, and interactions with components of the basal splicing machinery (called the spliceosome) and auxiliary regulatory factors which transie...

Spliceosome-mediated RNA trans-splicing (SMaRT) is an emerging technology for the repair of defective pre-messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) molecules. It is especially useful in the treatment of genetic disorders involving large genes. Although viral vectors have been used for achieving long-lasting expression of trans-splicing molecules, the immunogenicity and suboptimal safety profiles associated with...
متن کاملDysferlin rescue by spliceosome-mediated pre-mRNA trans-splicing targeting introns harbouring weakly defined 3' splice sites.
The modification of the pre-mRNA cis-splicing process employing a pre-mRNA trans-splicing molecule (PTM) is an attractive strategy for the in situ correction of genes whose careful transcription regulation and full-length expression is determinative for protein function, as it is the case for the dysferlin (DYSF, Dysf) gene. Loss-of-function mutations of DYSF result in different types of muscul...
