摘要:
The invention provides methods for treating or decreasing the likelihood of developing a stress-granule related disorder and/or cancer by administering one or more poly-ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors, one or more PARP activators, one or more poly-ADP-ribose glycosylase (PARG) activators, and/or one or more poly-ADP-ribose glycohydrolase ARH3 activators. The invention also provides corresponding methods of decreasing stress granule formation and/or proliferation in a cell or a population of cells. The invention further provides methods of increasing the number of stress granules and proliferation in a cell or a population of cells by administering one or more PARP activators, one or more PARP inhibitors, one or more PARG inhibitors, and/or one or more ARH3 inhibitors. The invention also provides methods for screening for agents for treating or decreasing the likelihood of developing a stress granule-related disorder or cancer, and methods for determining the propensity for developing a stress granule-related disorder or cancer, as well as compositions and kits containing one or more PARP inhibitors, one or more PARP activators, one or more PARG activators, and one or more ARH3 activators.

The invention provides methods for increasing the activity of an inhibitory RNA (RNAi) in a subject requiring administering one or more poly-ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors and/or one or more PARG activators to the subject. The invention also provides methods for increasing the activity of an inhibitory RNA in a cell or cell population requiring contacting a cell or cell population with one or more PARP inhibitors and/or one or more PARG activators. The invention further provides compositions and kits containing one or more PARP inhibitors and/or one or more PARG activators.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a Drosophila in vitro system which was used to demonstrate that dsRNA is processed to RNA segments 21-23 nucleotides (nt) in length. Furthermore, when these 21-23 nt fragments are purified and added back to Drosophila extracts, they mediate RNA interference in the absence of long dsRNA. Thus, these 21-23 nt fragments are the sequence-specific mediators of RNA degradation. A molecular signal, which may be their specific length, must be present in these 21-23 nt fragments to recruit cellular factors involved in RNAi. This present invention encompasses these 21-23 nt fragments and their use for specifically inactivating gene function. The use of these fragments (or chemically synthesized oligonucleotides of the same or similar nature) enables the targeting of specific mRNAs for degradation in mammalian cells, where the use of long dsRNAs to elicit RNAi is usually not practical, presumably because of the deleterious effects of the interferon response. This specific targeting of a particular gene function is useful in functional genomic and therapeutic applications.
