  3. 1. Introduction Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) can induce gene-silencing processes in eukaryotes through the degradation of homologous mRNAs, a process known as RNA interference (RNAi) in animals and post-transcriptional gene silencing(PTGS)in plants. www.themegallery.com Company Logo

  4. 1. Introduction Practical challenges: selection of effective target sites,efficient transfer of siRNAs into cells or tissues,and achieving controllable long-term silencing of target genes.There is no reliable and efficient way to predict optimal siRNA sequences. www.themegallery.com Company Logo

  5. 1. Introduction Objective: Developing a simplified and efficient fluorescence-based screening and validation system, namely pSOS, to assess gene-silencing efficacy of siRNAs. www.themegallery.com Company Logo

  6. 1. Introduction Introducing pSOS-based siRNA plasmids into mammalian cells, the reduction in GFP signal would reflect the silencing efficiency of siRNAs. www.themegallery.com Company Logo

  7. 1. Introduction The pSOS system has two essential components: One of which expresses a chimeric transcript between GFP and the coding region of a target gene driven by hEF1α. The other expresses a siRNA duplex under the control of dual convergent Pol III promoters（H1 and U6）. www.themegallery.com Company Logo

  15. Our results demonstrated that both 21nt and 27nt target sites can be equally efficient in gene knockdown . Our results also indicate that siRNAs whose sense-strand expression was driven by the U6 promoter were more effective than those driven by the H1 promoter. www.themegallery.com Company Logo

  18. www.themegallery.com Quantitative comparison of the knockdown efficiency of GFP signal by pSOS-based siRNA vectors targeting human β-catenin. Company Logo

  19. These results demonstrate that β-catenin siRNAs can effectively knockdown the chimeric transcript between GFP and human β-catenin. www.themegallery.com Company Logo

  20. www.themegallery.com the pSOS-siBC vectors-mediated decrease in GFP signal correlates with inhibition of β-catenin signaling Company Logo

  21. Taken together, our results have proven the principle of the pSOS-based system for selection and validation of siRNA target sites. www.themegallery.com Company Logo

  26. 3. Conclusion In summary, we have developed a fluorescence-based siRNA screening method and demonstrated its utility for evaluating the gene-knockdown efficiency of candidate siRNA sites. The GFP-based assay for gene-silencing efficiency can be qualitative and quantitative. www.themegallery.com Company Logo

  27. 3. Conclusion Reduction of GFP signal is closely correlated to knockdown efficiency of the expression and functional activity of target genes.Thus,the pSOS system is an efficient,versatile,and yet user-friendly tool for selecting,validating,and delivering optimal siRNA sites for RNAi-mediated gene silencing. www.themegallery.com Company Logo
