Published: June 2015

It is now clear that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) regulate a number of aspects of nuclear organization and gene expression. An important tool for the study of the distribution and function of lncRNAs is RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization (RNA-FISH). The protocols presented in this chapter describe this method in detail and also mention a number of critical points that must be considered when performing this technique.

Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is an ideal model for exploring the mechanisms of the virus; it is also an optimal vector for developing vector vaccines and for cancer therapy. A reverse genetic system of NDV Mukteswar strain controlled by eukaryotic cellular RNA polymerase II promoter was established by reverse genetics technology. Based on the reverse genetic system, an open reading frame of the enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) gene be inserted between the P and M genes of the viral genome and flanked with the gene start (GS) sequence and gene end (GE) sequence to form an independent transcription unit.

Self-Delivering RNAi Compounds for Reduction of Hyperpigmentation.

Clin Cosmet Investig Dermatol

December 2024

Phio Pharmaceuticals, Marlborough, MA, USA.

Purpose: Abnormal melanin synthesis causes hyperpigmentation disorders like melasma and lentigines, impacting psychological well-being. RNA interference (RNAi) uses small RNA molecules to inhibit gene expression by targeting specific mRNA, silencing genes involved in undesirable cellular functions. This study assessed INTASYL compounds, self-delivering RNAi molecules, designed to target and reduce tyrosinase gene expression to decrease pigmentation.

Background/aim: Chemotherapy based on 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu) is the first-line treatment for advanced gastric cancer (GC) patients. Importantly, 5-Fu resistance is recognized as a major obstacle for the successful treatment of GC. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are non-coding RNAs involved in the pathogenesis of GC.
