Welcome to RNAi Medicine. RNA interference (RNAi) is a system within living cells that helps to control which genes are active and how active they are. Two types of small RNA molecules – microRNA  (miRNA) and small interfering RNA (siRNA) – are central to RNA interference. RNAs are the direct products of genes, and these small RNAs can bind to specific other RNAs and either increase or decrease their activity, for example by preventing a messenger RNA from producing a protein. RNA interference has an important role in defending cells against parasitic genes, as well as gene expression in general. Therein lies the medical promise of RNAI Medicine.

Among the first applications via RNAi to reach clinical trials are the treatment of macular degeneration and a particular respiratory syncytial virus. RNA interference is also often seen as a promising way to treat cancer by silencing genes differentially upregulated in tumor cells or genes involved in cell division.

All I know is that methylation/demethylation of DNA/histone are involved…. Can anyone give me more details?

Thanks!

I’m researching for a paper, and I’m trying to learn about RNA interference and how it could be used for genetic engineering. But so far, the little bit of information I’ve found online has been difficult for me to understand. Can you help explain it? Please cite your sources so I can read your information, too.

What are the benefits of using RNAi to inhibit gene function over generating a gene knock-out (i.e.. a knock-out mouse)? What might be the problems with using RNAi?

Google Tech Talks April 9, 2007 ABSTRACT While investigating the genetic workings of the microscopic worm, C. elegans, Mello and colleague Andrew Fire, phd, of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, discovered rnai, a natural but previously unrecognized process by which a certain form of RNA can be manipulated to silence—or interfere with—the expression of a selected gene. The discovery, published in the journal Nature in 1998, has had two extraordinary impacts on biological science. One is as a research tool: rnai is now the state-of-the-art method by which scientists can knock out the expression of specific genes in cells, to thus define the biological functions of those genes.
