摘要
RNA干扰是由双链RNA诱导的特异性转录后基因表达沉默。目前用于在哺乳动物细胞中表达干扰RNA的启动子分为RNA聚合酶Ⅲ类启动子(polⅢ)及RNA聚合酶Ⅱ类启动子(polⅡ)。不同的启动子及经过不同方法改造后的启动子能满足不同研究目的的需要,从而极大地拓展了RNA干扰的应用范围。
RNA interference ( RNAi) is a process in which double-stranded RNA induces a sequence-dependent degradation of a congnate mRNA. RNAi has become an important tool in the study of gene function. The promoters used in the expression of siRNA in mammalian cells include RNA polymeraseⅢ and polymerase Ⅱ promoters. Different promoters, including modified promoters, have been developed to satisfy different research needs.
