Background technology
RNAi refers to when importing with endogenous mRNA coding region homologous double-stranded RNA in the cell, and this mRNA degraded takes place and causes the reticent phenomenon of genetic expression.
The RNA interfering process mainly contains 2 steps: (1) long dsrna is cut into the short dsrna of 21-23 base pair by the special nucleicacidase of the double-stranded RNA of cell source, be called little interferential RNA (small interfering RNA, siRNA).(2) some enzyme of little interferential RNA and cell source and protein form complex body; Be called RNA inductive silencing complex (RNA-inducedsilencing complex; RISC); This complex body can be discerned the mRNA that homologous sequence is arranged with little interferential RNA, and in special site this mRNA is cut off.
1998; Andrew's method strategic point (Andrew Z.Fire) etc. carries out finding when sense-rna suppresses experiment in Caenorhabditis elegans (C.elegans); The double-stranded RNA that adds is compared normal chain or anti-chain RNA has demonstrated stronger inhibition effect (Fire et al., 1998) as contrasting.From considering that with the mol ratio of said target mrna therefore the inhibition effect when the inhibition effect of the double-stranded RNA of adding is better than 1:1 pairing is in theory inferred in the process of inhibition of double-stranded RNA guiding, to have certain amplification effect and have certain enzymic activity to participate.Subsequently; Find to have the double-stranded RNA that the active Dicer of RNase III can be processed into long double-stranded RNA the weak point that 21~23nt of being referred to as siRNA (small interfering RNA) and 3 ' distal process go out again in succession; SiRNA and several albumen are formed the RNA albumen composition that is referred to as RISC mixture (RNA-induced silencing complex), and by the leading RNAi effect of this mixture.Calendar year 2001, Tuschl etc. import to short siRNA in the mammalian cell and have solved the Interferon, rabbit effect that causes when in mammalian cell, importing long double-stranded RNA thus, have expanded RNAi application prospect in gene therapy thus.RNAi mechanism is prevalent in the biological species, and gene expression regulation conservative relatively on therefore being considered to evolve is machine-processed.A kind of hypothesis is that RNAi mechanism exists as the defense mechanism of on rna level, resisting poisoning intrusion.Find more relevant factors such as endogenous in the RNAi mechanism at present
Double-stranded RNA and protein factor can be regulated and control genetic expression on multiple level; Its scope has surmounted PTGS (post transcriptional gene silencing), has participated in equally in the gene expression regulation process on the transcriptional level like RNAi mechanism.2006, Andrew's method strategic point obtains Nobel's physiology with Daniel Craig plum Lip river (Craig C.Mello) owing to the contribution in the RNAi Mechanism Study and medical science is encouraged.
The double-stranded RNA of the length that is imported by the external world at first is known as Dicer and has the little double-stranded RNA that the active RNA enzyme of RNaseIII cuts into 21~23 base pairs; This RNA is known as smallinterfering RNA (siRNA), it is characterized in that 3 ' end is with respect to outstanding two bases of complementary strand.After accomplishing said process, the last combination of siRNA RNAi protein factor, and form the RNA-albumen composition that is called RISC (RNA-induced silencing complex).In the RISC mixture, siRNA depends on the strand that converts into of ATP/ or ATP dependent/non-dependent, and then RISC is activated.Activated form RISC receives to become the siRNA guiding (guide strand) of strand, is combined in target mRNA sequence-specific and goes up and cut off target mRNA, causes the specificity of said target mrna and decomposes.Several and the RNAi proteins associated factor that comprise Dicer have been identified up to now.In fruit bat (Drosophila melanogaster) RISC, the known factor that is called Argonaute2 (AGO2) that exists, when the proteic expression of AGO2 was suppressed, RNAi effect disappearance that is to say that AGO2 is the necessary factor of fruit bat RNAi mechanism.Research shows that the Argonaute family protein has RNA nickase active (slicer activity), and RNAi mechanism is active leading by the RNA nickase of Argonaute family protein just.In addition, several rna helicase enzymes (RNA helicase) also are accredited as the factor of participating in RNAi mechanism.The factor necessary in the RNAi of Caenorhabditis elegans (C.elegans) has EGO1, and this is a kind of RdRP (RNA-dependent RNA Polymerase), also has this albumen homologue in the plant.Among the RNAi RdRP be with target mRNA as template, as the synthetic RNA of primer, in cell, be directed to the enzyme of the synthetic novel siRNA of target mRNA with the dsRNA (or siRNA) that imports.This is reflected at is necessary among some biological RNAi, and the RdRP activity is nonessential in the RNAi of people and fruit bat, though basic framework of this explanation RNAi mechanism between different plant species is identical, but exists delicate difference.
RNAi has high efficiency and a simplicity aspect gene silencing, so be the important tool of gene functional research.Most drug belongs to the suppressor factor of target gene (or disease gene), so RNAi simulated the effect of medicine, and the research method that this function is lost (LOF) obtains (GOF) method than traditional functions and has more advantage.Therefore, RNAi is the important tool that drug targets is confirmed in the pharmaceutical industries of today.Simultaneously, those proof effective siRNA/shRNA in the target experiment itself can also be developed further into the medicine into RNAi.
Aspect drug targets discovery and affirmation, the RNAi technology has obtained to use widely.Cell is introduced in the RNAi library that it is good that biotech company or drugmaker utilize foundation usually, and the phenotype through observation of cell changes the gene of finding to have function then.As can find to suppress the gene of tumour through the growth of tumour cell of RNAi library mediation.In case the base of being found
But because of the target that belongs to medication (as expressed proteins on cytolemma or secreted the extracellular), just can be directed against this target and carry out large-scale drug screening.In addition, the also available RNAi technology of found target is further confirmed in cell levels or animal body.
Aspect disease treatment, double-chain small molecule RNA or siRNA have been used to clinical trial and have been used for several kinds of disease treatments, as looking macular degeneration old age.
Yet to the RNA perturbation technique be applied to clinical treatment, need to solve the RNA interference fragment and express major issues such as lasting and expression efficiency.
ShRNA is short hairpin RNA (short hairpin RNA).In the RNAi course of infection; Effective ways that produce dsRNA are exactly to express a short hairpin RNA in vivo; This shRNA comprises two short inverted repeats (one of them and goal gene complementation), and is middle by a loop sequence separation, forms hairpin structure.ShRNA can be processed to siRNA in vivo, thereby the degraded goal gene suppresses its expression.
It is a newfound in recent years micromolecule polypeptide that iron is transferred plain (hepcidin), mainly synthetic by liver.It is the transmitter of iron metabolism conditioning signal between liver, small intestine and the reticuloendothelial system, is the centering control person of body iron balance.When any reason causes that circulation iron increases; Liver cell increases synthetic and secretion iron is transferred the plain blood that gets into, and iron is transferred and plainly is transported to the absorption site duodenum of iron and the main position scavenger cell that iron stores through blood flow, combines with film iron transfer albumen 1 (Ferroportin1) on the cytolemma; And degradative membrane iron transfer albumen 1; Get into blood thereby suppress iron from enteric cavity, reduce scavenger cell secretion iron simultaneously and get into blood, the blood iron level is reduced.When circulation iron was low, liver is synthetic transferred plain the minimizing with excretory iron.The degraded of intestinal absorption epithelium GAP-associated protein GAP reduces, and intestines iron absorbed dose increases, and iron level is returned to normally.
