摘要:
The invention relates to improved RNAi constructs and uses thereof. The construct has a double stranded region of 19-49 nucleotides, preferably 25, 26, or 27 nucleotides, and preferably blunt-ended. The construct has selective minimal modifications to confer an optimal balance of biological activity, toxicity, stability, and target gene specificity. For example, the sense strand may be modified (e.g., one or both ends of the sense strand is/are modified by four 2'-O-methyl groups), such that the construct is not cleaved by Dicer or other RNAse III, and the entire length of the antisense strand is loaded into RISC. In addition, the antisense strand may also be modified by 2'-O-methyl group at the 2nd 5'-end nucleotide to greatly reduce off-target silencing. The constructs of the invention largely avoids the interferon response and sequence- independent apoptosis in mammalian cells, exhibits better serum stability, and enhanced target specificity.

摘要:
The invention relates to improved double-stranded RNAi constructs (sometimes referred to as "solo-rxRNA") and uses thereof. The construct comprises a structure formed in some aspects of the invention by two identical single-stranded polynucleotides, with the structure having two double-stranded stem regions (each having less than 21 base pairs) and a loop or bulge having about 4 to 11 nucleotides on each strand. The construct is resistant to cleavage by Dicer or other Dicer-like RNase III enzymes and is capable of being loaded into a RISC complex to effect RNA interference. In addition, the nucleotides of the present hairpin constructs may be modified to greatly enhance functionality, such as stability and specificity.

摘要:
Nucleic acid molecule which modulate the synthesis, expression and/or stability of an mRNA encoding for angiogenic factors selected from aryl hydrocarbon nuclear transport (ARNT), intergrin subunit beta 3 ( beta 3), integrin subunit alpha 6 ( alpha 6) and tie - 2 RNA. This invention further provides a treatment for indications related to angiogenesis using the nucleic acid molecules.
