Synthetic double-stranded RNA stimulates the expression of interferon-inducible protein 10 in human mesothelial cells.

چکیده
Interferon-inducible protein 10 (IP-10) is a chemokine playing an important role in the restriction of viral spread. A time- and dose-dependent increase in IP-10 is found upon activation of viral receptors expressed on mesothelial cells, which provides novel evidence for a link between viral infections and inflammation of serous membranes.

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...

Abstract Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous, non-coding short RNAs (~22 nt) that can downregulate gene expression by translational repression, mRNA degradation, or transcriptional repression. miRNA misregulation has been implicated in pathogenic alterations such as cancer. In order to investigate microRNA functions in gene regulation and/or to modulate their expression in pathogenic...

Introduction: RNA interference (RNAi) is a phenomenon of gene silencing that uses double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), specifically inhibits gene expression by degrading mRNA efficiently. The mediators of degradation are 21- to 23-nt small interfering RNAs (siRNA). The use of siRNAs as inhibitors of gene expression has been shown to be an effective way of studying gene function in mammalian cells. Ai...

Background:The premature termination of high producer clones, which will be killed due to cell proliferation and proteins production antagonism, is one of the basic drawback in recombinant proteins technology. Furtheremore, it is supposed some toxic proteins like interferon which we intended to clone and express, inhibit host cells’ proliferation. So, it is necessary to tightly control IFN-γ pr...

Natural killer (NK) cells are a component of the innate immunity against viral infections through their rapid cytotoxic activity and cytokine production. Although the synthetic double-stranded (ds) RNA polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (poly I:C), a mimic of a common product of viral infections, is known to rapidly up-regulate their in vivo functions, NK cell ability to directly respond to dsRNA ...
