植物表达的siRNA对乙型肝炎病毒表面抗原基因表达沉默的研究
Title:ResearchontheSilencingEffectofPlant-expressedsiRNAontheExpressionofHepatitisBVirusSurfaceAntigenGene
Abstract:
HepatitisBvirus(HBV)infectionremainsamajorglobalhealthchallenge,affectingmillionsofpeopleworldwide.ThedevelopmentofeffectivetherapeuticstrategiestocombatHBVisofgreatimportance.RNAinterference(RNAi)isapromisingtechnologythatcanspecificallytargetviralgenes,suppressingtheirexpressionandreplication.Inthisstudy,weinvestigatedthepotentialofplant-expressedsmallinterferingRNAs(siRNAs)tosilencetheexpressionoftheHBVsurfaceantigen(HBsAg)gene,aimingtodevelopanovelstrategyforHBVtherapy.
Introduction:
HBVisahighlyinfectiousvirusthatprimarilytargetstheliver,leadingtochronicliverinflammation,cirrhosis,andhepatocellularcarcinoma.TheHBsAggeneencodesviralsurfaceproteins,whicharecrucialforvirusinfectionandreplication.CurrentlyavailableantiviraltherapiesforHBVarelimitedandhavepotentialsideeffects.Therefore,alternativeapproachesareurgentlyneeded.
siRNA-mediatedgenesilencinghasemergedasapowerfultoolfortargetedgeneregulation.PreviousstudieshavedemonstratedthesuccessfuluseofsiRNAsagainstvariousviralgenes,includingHBV.However,theefficientandsustainabledeliveryofsiRNAintohepatocytesremainsachallenge.Plant-basedexpressionsystemsofferapotentialsolutionastheyaresafe,cost-effective,andcanproducelargeamountsoftherapeuticproteins.
Methods:
1.Constructionofplantexpressionvectors:HBsAg-specificsiRNAsweredesignedandclonedintoplantexpressionvectorsunderthecontrolofstrongpromoters.
2.Agrobacterium-mediatedtransformation:TobaccoorArabidopsisplantsweretransformedwiththeplantexpressionvectorsusingAgrobacterium-mediatedtechniques.
3.Confirmationoftransgenicplants:PCR,Southernblotting,andsequencingwereperformedtoconfirmthesuccessfulintegrationofthesiRNAconstructsintotheplantgenome.
4.DetectionofsiRNAexpression:RNAextractionandreversetranscriptionPCR(RT-PCR)wereconductedtodetecttheexpressionofsiRNAsintransgenicplants.
