RNA nanoparticles consisting of multiple RNA strands of different sequences forming various three-dimensional structures emerge as promising carriers of siRNAs, RNA aptamers, and ribozymes. In vitro transcription of a mixture of dsDNA templates encoding all the subunits of the RNA nanoparticle may result in cotranscriptional self-assembly of the nanoparticle. Based on our experience with production of RNA nanorings, RNA nanocubes, and RNA three-way junctions, we propose a strategy for optimization of the cotranscriptional production of chemically modified ribonuclease-resistant RNA nanoparticles.
由不同序列的多条RNA链组成各种三维结构的RNA纳米颗粒,正成为小干扰RNA(siRNA)、RNA适配体和核酶的有前景的载体。对编码RNA纳米颗粒所有亚基的双链DNA模板混合物进行体外转录,可能会导致纳米颗粒的共转录自组装。基于我们在生产RNA纳米环、RNA纳米立方体和RNA三向接头方面的经验,我们提出了一种优化化学修饰的抗核糖核酸酶RNA纳米颗粒共转录生产的策略。
