The method and composition that is used for RNA interferential therepic use
Background of invention
The structure of cell and biological behaviour are to determine by gene expression pattern in the cell of specified time.For a long time, the interference of genetic expression is considered to the reason that a large amount of diseases produce always, and these diseases comprise cancer, vascular disease, neurone and the endocrinopathy of various ways.Known at present, amplification, disappearance, gene rearrangement, forfeiture or the unconventionality expression pattern that obtains functional mutant form all will cause the abnormal behaviour of disease cell.Unusual genetic expression also is considered to some biology and avoids a kind of defense mechanism that pathogenic agent threatens.

III. Typical case RNAi construct
This RNAi construct contains can be under the cell physiological condition, with the nucleotide sequence of the nucleotide sequence hybridization of the mRNA transcription product for the treatment of suppressor (i.e. " target " gene) at least a portion. This double-stranded RNA only needs abundant similar the getting final product to the natural RNA that has mediate rna i ability. Therefore, the present invention has the advantage that can tolerate the sequence variations that may be expected owing to genetic mutation, bacterial strain polymorphism or evolutionary divergence. The nucleotides mispairing number of allowing between target sequence and this RNAi construct sequence is to be no more than one in 5 base-pairs, or is no more than one in 10 base-pairs, or is no more than one in 20 base-pairs, or is no more than one in 50 base-pairs. The mispairing at SiRNA duplex center is the most key, and may substantially destroy the cracking of target RNA. By comparison, the specificity that is positioned at 3 ' of the siRNA chain of target RNA complementation terminal nucleotide pair target identification there is no remarkable effect.
(see Gribskov and Devereux by sequence comparison known in the art and alignment algorithm, Sequence Analysis Primer, Stockton Press, 1991, and the list of references of quoting), and pass through, for example adopt the Smith-Waterman algorithm (such as University of Wisconsin Genetic Computing Group) of the BESTFIT software program realization of default parameters, calculate the percentage difference between the nucleotide sequence, but just sequence optimized homogeneity. Sequence homogeneity between inhibitory RNA and the part target gene surpasses 90%, perhaps even 100% be preferred. Alternatively, the duplex zone of this RNA may function be defined as can with the nucleotide sequence of the part of target gene transcription product hybridization (such as 400mM NaCl, 40mM PIPES pH6.4,1mM EDTA, 50 ℃ or 70 ℃ of hybridization 12-16 hour; Then washing).

For example, the phosphodiester bond of natural RNA can be modified to the hetero atom that comprises at least one nitrogen or sulphur. The structural modification of RNA can be trimmed to and allow specific heredity to suppress, and avoids simultaneously generally replying dsRNA. In addition, can modify to block to base the activity of adenosine deaminase. This RNAi construct can obtain by enzymatic or by part/total organic synthesis, can import the ribonucleotide of any modification by the method for external enzymatic or organic synthesis.
The method of chemical modification RNA molecule also goes for modifying the RNAi construct and (for example sees Heidenreich et al.

Only illustrate, can adopt thiophosphate, phosphoramidate, phosphorodithioate, chimeric methyl-phosphonate-di-phosphate ester, peptide nucleic acid, contain the 5-propinyl of oligomer or sugar-modified (such as 2 '-ribonucleotide that substitutes, a-configuration)-pyrimidine modifies the main chain of RNAi construct.
This duplex structure can form by wall scroll self complementary RNA chain or two complementary RNA chains. The formation of RNA duplex can be in cell or outside start. The RNA that can be imported into amount should be able to realize that each cell send at least and pass a copy. The higher dosage (such as each cell at least 5,10,100,500 or 1000 copies) of double-stranded material can produce more efficiently inhibition, and also may be effective to some application-specific than low dosage.
