摘要
RNA干扰是指dsRNA抑制细胞内同源基因表达的现象,RNA干扰现象自发现以来在短短的几年里,已成功地用于不同种属的生物研究。dsRNA不仅参与内源基因表达调控,而且能够抑制宿主内病原微生物基因的表达,参与构筑生物体的防御机制。近年来,运用RNAi技术在哺乳动物中的研究不断深入,尤其是抑制病毒复制的研究成果令人欣喜,这为人类动物抗病毒治疗提供了新的思路。
RNA interference refers to the inhibition of gene expression by dsRNA. The RNA interference technique has already used to the dissimilarity kinds of creature researches successfully in very short years. DsRNA can not only participate in gene regulation, but also inhibit gene expression of pathogenic microbes. RNAi is beheved to function as a defense against viruses. Recently, inhibition of virus replication by means of induced RNAi has been reported for many human and animal pathogens. It makes possible the development of RNAi - based antiviral therapeutics. In this article, we review the current researches on RNAi - mediated inhibition of virus replication.
