Experimental RNAi02:15

Experimental RNAi

6.1K
RNA interference (RNAi) is a cellular mechanism that inhibits gene expression by suppressing its transcription or activating the RNA degradation process. The mechanism was discovered by Andrew Fire and Craig Mello in 1998 in plants. Today, it is observed in almost all eukaryotes, including protozoa, flies, nematodes, insects, parasites, and mammals. This precise cellular mechanism of gene silencing has been developed into a technique that provides an efficient way to identify and determine the...

RNA Editing02:23

RNA Editing

8.9K
RNA editing is a post-transcriptional modification where a precursor mRNA (pre-mRNA) nucleotide sequence is changed by base insertion, deletion, or modification. The extent of RNA editing varies from a few hundred bases, in mitochondrial DNA of trypanosomes, to a just single base, in nuclear genes of mammals. Even a single base change in the pre-mRNA can convert a codon for one amino acid into the codon for another amino acid or a stop codon. This type of re-coding can significantly affect the...

CRISPR

49.7K
Genome editing technologies allow scientists to modify an organism’s DNA via the addition, removal, or rearrangement of genetic material at specific genomic locations. These types of techniques could potentially be used to cure genetic disorders such as hemophilia and sickle cell anemia. One popular and widely used DNA-editing research tool that could lead to safe and effective cures for genetic disorders is the CRISPR-Cas9 system. CRISPR-Cas9 stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced...

Background:

  • Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are natural carriers of biomolecules, including RNAs.
  • Efficiently loading long RNAs, such as circular RNAs (circRNAs), into EVs is challenging with conventional methods.
  • Existing methods may compromise EV integrity or RNA cargo.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel strategy for high-efficiency encapsulation of long circRNAs into EVs.
  • To leverage cellular sorting mechanisms for improved circRNA loading.
  • To demonstrate the therapeutic potential of EV-delivered circRNAs.

Main Methods:

  • Engineered cells to increase cytoplasmic concentration of target circRNAs.
  • Utilized inherent circRNA enrichment in EVs and RNA back-splicing.
  • Harnessed cellular sorting pathways for circRNA encapsulation into EVs.

Main Results:

  • Achieved highly efficient loading of long circRNAs (>1000 nt) into EVs.
  • Demonstrated successful delivery of EV-encapsulated circRNAs to recipient cells.
  • Showcased gene editing applications in mice using these engineered EVs.

Conclusions:

  • The developed strategy enables efficient encapsulation and delivery of long circRNAs via EVs.
