10. Antisense therapy Antisense therapy is a mode of treatment for genetic disorder or infections. A complementary mRNA strand is synthesized on the basis of the known pathogenic sequence, and which switch ‘off’ the pathogenic gene by activating the degrading enzyme RNaseH. Antisense drugs are being researched to treat cancers, HIV, CMV etc. Formivirsen is the first antisense antiviral Antisense DNA oligonucleotide (AS) technology is a promising approach to regulate gene expression and cellular processes. For example, ASs can be used to capture the overexpressed, oncogenic miRNAs in tumors to suppress tumor growth. Among many challenges faced by AS approach is the degradation of ASs by nucleases under physiological conditions.
The Sense Strand, also called the coding strand, has the same sequence as the RNA produced, albeit with thymine (T) in DNA being replaced by uracil (U) in RNA. Conversely, the Antisense Strand, often termed the template strand, directly binds to RNA polymerase during the transcription process and serves as the template for mRNA synthesis.
Antisense strategies. The term antisense molecules comprises several classes of oligonucleotide molecules that contain sequence complementarity to target RNA molecules, such as mRNA, viral RNA, or other RNA species, and that inhibit the function of their target RNA after sequence-specific binding. This goes back to its first description in 1978 Antisense mechanism (A) and phosphorothioate (B).(A) The use of LNA oligonucleotides as inhibitors of disease—forming proteins, or reduction of harmful RNA, is based on specific hybridization to
Recently, there is a hopefully tremendous interest in antisense therapeutics for clinical purposes. Single-stranded synthetic antisense oligonucleotides (As-ODNs) with monomers of chemically modified 18-21 deoxynucleotides complement the mRNA sequence in target gene. The target gene expression can b …
Antisense RNA works by a variety of mechanisms to control gene expression. Some antisense transcripts induce conformational changes in their target RNA. One example is the control of replication of a staphylococcal plasmid. Here, the antisense RNA (RNAIII) binds to repR RNA and creates a terminator stem loop that causes RNA polymerase to fall
One method of gene suppression is through antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs). ASOs are small single-stranded chemically modified DNA molecules that use Watson Crick base pairing to bind RNA and catalyze downstream events . Gene suppressing ASOs form DNA/RNA heteroduplexes when bound, recruiting RNase H to degrade the targeted transcript.
