RNA trans-splicing joins exons from different pre-mRNA transcripts to generate a chimeric product. Trans-splicing can also occur at the protein level, with split inteins mediating the ligation of separate gene products to generate a mature protein.
Comprehensive literature search of published research papers and reviews using Pubmed.
Trans-splicing techniques have been used to target a wide range of diseases in both in vitro and in vivo models, resulting in RNA, protein and functional correction.
Off-target effects can lead to therapeutically undesirable consequences. In vivo efficacy is typically low, and delivery issues remain a challenge.
Trans-splicing provides a promising avenue for developing novel therapeutic approaches. However, much more research needs to be done before developing towards preclinical studies.
Increasing trans-splicing efficacy and specificity by rational design, screening and competitive inhibition of endogenous cis-splicing.
RNA 转剪接将来自不同前体 mRNA 转录本的外显子连接在一起,生成嵌合产物。转剪接也可以在蛋白质水平上发生,带有分裂整合酶的拼接体介导将不同基因产物连接在一起,以生成成熟蛋白质。
使用 Pubmed 对已发表的研究论文和综述进行全面的文献检索。
转剪接技术已被用于在体外和体内模型中靶向广泛的疾病,从而实现 RNA、蛋白质和功能校正。
脱靶效应可能导致治疗上不理想的后果。体内疗效通常较低,并且仍存在递送问题。
转剪接为开发新的治疗方法提供了有前途的途径。然而,在开发进入临床前研究之前,还需要进行更多的研究。
通过合理设计、筛选和内源性顺式剪接的竞争性抑制来提高转剪接的效率和特异性。
