pubmed:abstractText
RNA interference (RNAi) mediated by small-interfering RNAs (siRNAs) is a highly effective gene-silencing mechanism with great potential for gene-therapeutic applications. siRNA agents also exert non-target-related biological effects and toxicities, including immune-system stimulation. Specifically, siRNA synthesized from the T7 RNA polymerase system triggers a potent induction of type-I interferon (IFN) in a variety of cells. Single-stranded RNA also stimulates innate cytokine responses in mammals. We found that pppGn (n = 2,3) associated with the 5'-end of the short-hairpin RNA (shRNA) from the T7 RNA polymerase system did not induce detectable amounts of IFN. The residual amount of guanine associated with the 5'-end and hairpin structures of the transcript was proportional to the reduction of the IFN response. Here we describe a T7 pppGn (n = 2,3) shRNA synthesis that does not induce the IFN response, and maintains the full efficacy of siRNA.
