摘要:
An expression vector for altering expression of a target nucleic acid sequence in a host cell by production of single-stranded cDNA (ssDNA) in the host cell in vivo. The expression vector is comprised of a cassette comprising a sequence of interest, an inverted tandem repeat, and a primer binding site 3′ to the inverted tandem repeat, and a reverse transcriptase/RNAse H coding gene, and may be transfected into the host cell. Transcription of the cassette by the host cell produces an RNA template which is reverse transcribed with the product of the RT coding gene to produce ssDNA of a specified sequence. The ssDNA is modified to remove flanking vector sequences by taking advantage of the “stem-loop” structure of the ssDNA, which forms as a result of the inverted tandem repeat that allows the ssDNA to fold back on itself, forming a double stranded DNA stem. The double-stranded stem may contain one or more restriction endonuclease recognition sites and the loop, which remains as ssDNA, can be any desired nucleotide sequence. This design allows the double-stranded stem of the stem-loop intermediate to be cleaved by the desired corresponding restriction endonuclease(s) and the loop portion is then released as a linearized, single-stranded piece of DNA. The resulting ssDNA binds to an endogenous target nucleic acid sequence to alter the expression of that sequence for such therapeutic purposes as gene activation or inactivation using duplex or triplex binding of nucleic acids, site-directed mutagenesis, interruption of cellular function by binding to specific cellular proteins, or interfering with RNA splicing functions.
摘要:
Methods and compositions comprising a DNA expression cassette for producing ss-cDNA inside a host cell (in vivo). The expression system optionally contains a reverse transcriptase/RNAse H coding gene, and a restriction endonuclease gene. The cassette carries cloning sites in two distinct locations for cloning and expressing a sequence of interest. The mRNA then serves as a template for reverse transcriptase and synthesis of the ss-cDNA. In one embodiment, the ss-cDNA folds and forms a dsDNA “stem-loop” structure which can be designed to contain restriction endonuclease recognition site the stem portion for cutting off the ssDNA loop containing the SOI having minimal flanking sequence attached. In another embodiment, the mRNA template folds prior to reverse transcription and serves as a termination signal for the RT. Again, a ss-cDNA is formed having only minimal flanking sequence. The data shows the usefulness of this system for producing ss-DNA inside a host/target cell.

Disclosed are alicyclic[c]benzopyrone derivatives and use thereof. The alicyclic[c]benzopyrone derivatives are compounds represented by formula I or their salts. The present compounds not only significantly improve high activity induced by MK-801, but also effectively improve clambering symptom induced by Apomorphine and do not cause EPS within effective dose. These in vitro targets and in vivo pharmacological models are closely related to diseases of the nervous system caused by dopamine dysfunction, especially schizophrenia. Therefore the present compounds can be used for the treatment of central nervous system diseases, especially schizophrenia. ED50 is lower and effect is stronger in two animal models i.e. high activity induced by MK-801 and clambering symptom induced by Apomorphine, while ED50 is higher and therapeutic index is greater in animal models of catalepsy.

The current invention is directed to oligonucleotide sequences isolated from a sequence designated rbl-1 [SEQ ID NO. 19] that either kill or inhibit growth, or prevent the production of endogenously expressed toxin, of microorganisms. These ssDNA sequences, identified through use of a screening method, appear to act as modulators of essential growth functions which may act at the level of triplex formation, antisense inhibition, or as aptamers that alter gene function. The sequences, referred to as minimum functional regions, or MFRs, are useful inter alia as therapeutic agents for treatment of sepsis and other pathologies caused by microorganisms such as sepsis and/or in which microorganisms are contributory agents.

A multi-bit memory cell includes a substrate; a multi-bit charge-trapping cell over the substrate, the multi-bit charge-trapping cell having a first lateral side and a second lateral side; a source region in the substrate, a portion of the source region being under the first side of the multi-bit charge-trapping cell; a drain region in the substrate, a portion of the drain region being under the second side of the multi-bit charge-trapping cell; and a channel region in the substrate between the source region and the drain region. The channel region has one of a p-type doping and an n-type doping, and the doping is configured to provide a highest doping concentration near the central portion of the channel region.

摘要:
A selectively inducible, single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) expression library, a method for constructing a ssDNA expression library, a method for screening ssDNA using the expression library, and a method for identifying ssDNA molecules that alter expression of bacterial and fungal gene(s) related to cell growth and toxin production and secretion. The screening library is used to, among other things, identify ODNs effective in stopping cell growth, killing bacteria or fungi, or preventing bacteria and/or fungi from synthesizing and secreting their toxins, and/or to discover ODNs effective in eukaryotic (e.g., mammalian) cells for targeted alteration of gene function. The library is also useful for identifying ssDNAs or ODNs that are used as therapeutic agents for, for instance, providing a method for treatment of bacterial infections such as sepsis.
