Potent single stranded RNA inhibition

Abstract:
The high affinity provided by LNA is the basis for its high antisense potency. This property offers furthermore the opportunity to make shorter than usual antisense oligonucleotides exhibiting very high in vivo potency and efficacy. The potency of short-stranded LNA is comparable to the very best lipid formulated siRNA's. But in contrast to siRNA short-stranded LNA provides a common platform for highly potent mRNA and microRNA inhibitors. All these features of LNA will be comprehensively illustrated in the presentation. Inhibition of coding RNA will be illustrated using ApoB-100 as the target, and inhibition of miR-122 will be used to illustrate inhibition of non-coding RNA. The conclusions in the presentation are all based on comprehensive rodent and non-human primate data.

This process occurs naturally in cells, often through the activity of genomically-encoded microRNAs. Researchers can take advantage of this mechanism by introducing synthetic RNAs to deactivate specific genes for research or therapeutic purposes. For example, RNAi could be used...

01:23Types of RNA
Three main types of RNA are involved in protein synthesis: messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA). These RNAs perform diverse functions and can be broadly classified as protein-coding or non-coding RNA. Non-coding RNAs play important roles in the regulation of gene expression in response to developmental and environmental changes. Non-coding RNAs in prokaryotes can be manipulated to develop more effective antibacterial drugs for human or animal use.
