Thus, 24 2'-OMe-modified siRNAs were designed to target HRV1B. The RNA levels of HRV1B, Toll-like receptor 3, melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5, retinoic acid inducible gene-I, and interferons were determined in HRV1B-infected HeLa and BEAS-2B epithelial cells transfected with 2'-OMe-modified siRNAs. The results revealed that all 2'-OMe-modified siRNAs interfered with the replication of HRVIB in a cell-specific and transfection efficiency-dependent manner. Viral activation of Toll-like receptor 3, melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5, retinoic acid inducible gene-1, and the interferon response was detected. In conclusion, the 2'-OMe-modified siRNAs used in this study could interfere with HRV1B replication, possibly leading to the reactivation of the interferon response.展开更多

KC977563). It is 767 bp long and encodes a protein of 190 amino acid residues with a predicted mass of 21.5 k Da and a predicted cleavage site of N-terminal signal peptide between the 24 th and the 25 th residues. Sg C002 is specifically expressed in salivary gland with the highest level at the 2nd instar. Introducing Sg C002-specific 476-si RNA, but not 546-si RNA to aphids through artificial diet significantly suppressed Sg C002 expression. Silencing Sg C002 gene led to lethality of the aphid on wheat plants, but not on pure artificial diet. Our study demonstrated that artificial diet-mediated RNAi can be a useful tool for research on the roles of genes in aphid salivary gland, and also provided new insights into the characteristics of C002 in wheat aphids.展开更多

Cells were obtained from the cartilage tissues of New Zealand white rabbits. They were cultured with interleukin(IL)-1β(10 ng/m L) for 24 h and then divided into three groups: u PA-si RNA group(cells transfected with u PA-si RNA lentiviruses), blank control group(untreated cells), and negative control group(cells transfected with empty vectors). Western blotting and real-time quantitative reverse transcription-PCR(RT-QPCR) were performed to detect the protein and m RNA expression levels of u PA, MMP-1, MMP-3, MMP-9, MMP-10, MMP-13 and MMP-14 in osteoarthritic chondrocytes. Cell Counting Kit-8, flow cytometry, and colony formation assay were used to examine the proliferation and apoptosis of chondrocytes. The results showed that after u PA-si RNA transfection, the protein and mR NA expression levels of uP A, MMP-1, MMP-3, MMP-9, MMP-10, MMP-13, and MMP-14 were significantly decreased(P〈0.05 for MMP-1, MMP-9, MMP-10 and MMP-14, P〈0.01 for u PA, MMP-3 and MMP-13). Cell proliferation and colony formation rate were significantly higher and the cell apoptosis rate was significantly lower in u PA-si RNA group than in control groups(P〈0.01). The proportion of cells in G0/G1 phase was markedly increased and that in the S phase decreased, and the cell cycle was arrested at the G1/S phase in the control group. In the u PAsi RNA group, the proportion of cells in the S phase was significantly increased, resulting in a different proportion of cells in cell cycle phase(P〈0.01). It was suggested that the down-regulation of uP A gene could inhibit the expression of MMPs protein and cell apoptosis, increase the proliferation and colony formation of osteoarthritic chondrocytes.展开更多
