Site-specific conjugation of drug-like fragments to an antimiR scaffold as a strategy to target miRNAs inside RISC.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We synthesized a miR-122 antimiR library in which drug-like fragments were site-specifically introduced to short 2'-O-methyl-RNAs. At some sites selected fragments elevated cellular antimiR activity to that of an unmodified 23mer antimiR, whereas at others the same fragments abolished activity. The potency of the antimiRs correlated with uptake into miRISC.

Development of an antibacterial porous scaffold for bone defect treatment
Background & Aim: The use of bone scaffolds is one of the new and efficient techniques for repairing bone defects that provide a suitable platform for cell proliferation and growth to repair the target tissue. One of the most important causes of failure of transplants and surgical procedures is the invasion of bacteria at the site of the complication and the development of severe infection. The...
متن کاملRISC-interacting clearing 3’- 5’ exoribonucleases (RICEs) degrade uridylated cleavage fragments to maintain functional RISC in Arabidopsis thaliana
RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) is composed of miRNAs and AGO proteins. AGOs use miRNAs as guides to slice target mRNAs to produce truncated 5' and 3' RNA fragments. The 5' cleaved RNA fragments are marked with uridylation for degradation. Here, we identified novel cofactors of Arabidopsis AGOs, named RICE1 and RICE2. RICE proteins specifically degraded single-strand (ss) RNAs in vitro; bu...
متن کاملEfficient Synthesis of 5,5-Disubstituted Bis-hydantoins/spirohydantoins and a Tetrakis-analogue: A Drug-like Multi-cyclic Scaffold
An easy method was developed for the efficient preparation of diversely new 5,5-disubstituted N(3),N'(3)-linkaged bis-hydantoins. At first, using the same methods, some ketones and terephthalaldehyde were converted to several hydantoins and a new bis-hydantoin , respectively. Then 1,6-dibromohexane, as a mild reagent, was employed for the alkylation and incorporation of synthesized substrates t...
متن کاملMicroRNAs block assembly of eIF4F translation initiation complex in Drosophila.
miRNAs silence their complementary target mRNAs by translational repression as well as by poly(A) shortening and mRNA decay. In Drosophila, miRNAs are typically incorporated into Argonaute1 (Ago1) to form the effector complex called RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). Ago1-RISC associates with a scaffold protein GW182, which recruits additional silencing factors. We have previously shown that...
متن کاملP 61: MicroRNA as a Therapeutic Tool to Prevent Blood Brain Barrier Dysfunction in Neuroinflammation
Endothelial cells present in brain are unique and differ from other peripheral tissues in a number of ways, which ensures specific brain endothelial barrier properties. Endothelial dysfunction is the earliest event in the initiation of vascular damage caused by inflammation. Various microRNAs (miRNA) have been discovered in different cellular components of the blood bran barrier (BBB). miRNAs a...
