Introduction to dsRNA

• What is dsRNA

Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) is a unique form of RNA. dsRNAs are usually shorter, possess enhanced structural instability due to uncertainties, and are highly influenced by environments. Thus, there is no fixed and defined secondary structure for dsRNA.

dsRNAs are usually found within viruses and reserved two main characteristics:

1. Viral genomes are mostly double-stranded RNA molecules with 10 to 12 segments.
2. Viruses are double-layered capsids without an envelope.

dsRNA is not only a biomarker of viral infection but also a key molecule for RNA interference (RNAi)-mediated gene silencing at the mRNA level.

• Pathways of dsRNA production

1. mRNA produced in the cell is complemented to a single-stranded RNA supported by RNA polymerase to form a dsRNA.
2. In vitro artificial synthesis, similar principle to pathway 1.
3. A long-chain RNA that contains the reverse complementary sequence can complement itself to afford a stem-loop structure easily recognized by endonucleases; while endonucleases degrade only single-stranded RNA, complemented RNA is left behind to form dsRNA.

• Construction of dsRNA

dsRNA can be constructed in vitro and transferred into cells via liposomes. However, cells with weak liposomal delivery systems tend to result in shorter dsRNAs half-life. Thus, transferring vectors that are capable of expressing dsRNA in vitro can enhance effective transfection and enable dsRNA to play a long-term role in blocking genes to express vectors over a long period stably.

Pol III is used to direct RNA synthesis during dsRNA expression vectors construction, and T7 is used as a promoter to synthesize dsRNA.

• Applications of dsRNA

1. Mediates RNA interference
2. Plant protection and crop improvement
3. Diagnostic objectives
