  • Example 1 Screening of 73 RNAi-induced double-stranded nucleic acid molecules targeting NRL
  • siRNA Asymmetric siRNA (asiRNA) was designed.
  • Conventional siRNA is a duplex of 19 base pairs with two nucleotide overhangs on both strands 3'.
  • the asiRNA has a reduced du-target effect due to the shortened sense length while the 5'of the antisense strand is blunt end and has a short duplex of 15-16 base pairs, showing the same inhibitory efficiency as siRNA. Therefore, it was designed with 16mer (sense strand)-19mer (antisense strand) asiRNA (Fig. 1).
  • NRL asiRNA was designed considering the homology of Homo sapiens(H), Rattus norvegicus(R) and Mus musculus(M) for animal experiments. These are sequences that are 100% identical to Homo sapiens, and allow up to one or two nucleotide mismatches with Rattus norvegicus and Mus musculus. At this time, the seed region (second nucleotide to eighth nucleotide), which plays an important role in RNA interference, contains only those that do not have a mismatched sequence.
  • NRL plasmid and NRL asiRNA were continuously transfected, and experiments were first performed on cells expressing NRL temporarily (transient cell line). More specifically, after culturing and growing HeLa cells in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium-corning (DMEM) with 10% fetal bovine serum-gibco (FBS) added to a 100 mm petri dish, the cells are grown in 12 well plates and 5 ⁇ per well 104 pieces were dispensed.
