SiRNA off-target effects can be reduced at concentrations that match their individual potency

ABSTRACT: This study demonstrates that siRNA off-targets (e.g. 3'UTR off-targets), can be significantly reduced when cells are treated with a relatively low dose of siRNA (e.g. 1nM) that is sufficient to effectively silence the intended target.

siRNA off-target effects can be reduced at concentrations that match their individual potency

Project description:This study demonstrates that siRNA off-targets (e.g. 3'UTR off-targets), can be significantly reduced when cells are treated with a relatively low dose of siRNA (e.g. 1nM) that is sufficient to effectively silence the intended target. Cells were treated with different concentrations of either unmodified siRNA or modified siRNA that targeted either hexokinase2 or STAT3 (HK2-3581, HK2-4031, HK2-3581M, STAT3-1676, STAT3-1676M). As transfection efficiencies can vary according to the ratio of nucleotide to transfection reagent, each dose was supplemented with non-targeting/negative control siRNA (siGenome2 or Allstars negative control), such that the total RNA concentration was equal across experiments. RNA was purified 48 hours post-transfection using the RNeasy mini kit from Qiagen. Biological replicates were normalized using the RMA method and analyzed using various Bioconductor tools.

Global analysis of off-target genes by GAPDH siRNA

Project description:A GAPDH siRNA was overexpressed in HeLa cells and microarray expression profiling was performed to experimentally identify the off-targets of this siRNA at the transcriptome level. Among all predicted siRNA off-targets by MirTarget2, the majority were downregulated by at least 10% (i.e. less than 90% remaining gene expression). Moreover, more than one fifth were downregulated by at least 30%. The gene knockdown data is consistent with previous observations that siRNA off-targets are generally silenced at a more moderate level as compared to silencing of the single intended target

TALEN-Engineered AR Gene Rearrangements Reveal Endocrine Uncoupling of Androgen Receptor in Prostate Cancer

Project description:This experiment addressed the question of whether full length Androgen receptor and Androgen Receptor variant ARv567es have similar transciptional activities. The transcriptomes of R1-AD1, a AR full length expressing cell line, are compared in an AR on (1nM DHT) to an AR off (ethanol vehicle) state. R1-D567 was derived from R1-AD1 and modified with TALENs in such a way as to express only AR-V567es. The AR on and off states were induced with a control siRNA (AR on) or a siRNA targeting exon 1 (AR off). R-AD1 was cultured for 24 hours in either base RPMI media with 1nM DHT or ethanol vehichle and RNA extracted. R1-D567 cells were electroporated with control siRNA or siRNA targeting exon 1 of AR and allowed to recover 48 hours and then cultured in base media with 1nM DHT or ethanol for 24 hrs. Each conditon was done in triplicate.

Reduced seed region-based off-target activity with lentivirus-mediated RNAi

Project description:In addition to silencing intended target genes, transfected siRNAs regulate numerous unintended transcripts through a mechanism in which the equivalent of a microRNA-like seed region in the siRNA recognizes complementary sequences in transcript 3' UTRs. The ability to limit such off-target effects would substantially facilitate accurate interpretation of RNA interference (RNAi) experiments and thus greatly enhance their value. We tested whether lentivirus-mediated delivery of shRNA is prone to the seed region-based off-target activity prevalent in siRNA experiments. We compared target gene silencing and overall impact on global gene expression caused by multiple 21-mer duplex sequences delivered as both transfected siRNA and lentivirus vector-expressed shRNA. At equivalent levels of target gene silencing, signatures induced by shRNAs were significantly smaller than those induced by cognate siRNAs and arose less frequently from seed region activity. Interestingly, the low level of seed-region based off-target activity exhibited by shRNAs resulted in down-regulation of transcripts that were largely distinct from those regulated by siRNAs. On the basis of these observations, we recommend lentivirus-mediated RNA interference for pathway profiling experiments that measure whole genome transcriptional readouts as well as for large-scale screens when resources for extensive follow up are limited.
