Locked nucleic acid (LNA) mediated improvements in siRNA stability and functionality
Nucleic Acids Research, 2005, Vol. 33, No.1 439-447,-0001,():
Therapeutic application of the recently discovered small interfering RNA (siRNA) gene silencing phenomenon will be dependent on improvements in molecule bio-stability, specificity and delivery. To address these issues, we have systematically modified siRNA with the synthetic RNA-like high affinity nucleotide analogue, Locked Nucleic Acid (LNA). Here,weshowthat incorporation of LNAsubstantially enhances serum half-life of siRNA’s, which is a key requirement for therapeutic use. Moreover, we provide evidence that LNA is compatible with the intracellular siRNA machinery and can be used to reduce undesired, sequence-related off-target effects. LNA-modified siRNAs targeting the emerging disease SARS, show improved efficiency over unmodified siRNA on certain RNA motifs. The results from this study emphasize LNA’s promise in converting siRNA from a functional genomics technology to a therapeutic platform.
