Abstract

The invention discloses a method for specificity up-regulated gene expression through a targeting core promoter utilizing small molecule RNAs (including micro-RNAs and small interfering RNAs) and a series of regulation target genes. According to the invention, when a TATAbox sequence is contained in the promoter, a target site is in the range of expanding 20 basic groups from the upstream and downstream sides respectively by taking the TATAbox sequence as the center; when no TATAbox sequence is contained in the promoter, the target site is a 1-50 sequences on the upstream side of the genetic transcription initiation site. The micro-RNAs hsa-let-7i, hsa-miR-138, hsa-miR-92a, hsa-let-7c and hsa-miR-181d specifically regulate up the expression of interleukin-2, insulin, thyrocalcitonin, histone and c-myc gene respectively. Besides, aiming to the randomly-selected 19 gene promoters, the artificially-synthesized small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) can enhance the transcriptional activities of 78.9% of the genes. The invention aims to provide the method for specificity up-regulated gene expression utilizing micro-RNAs and has higher application values and broad application prospects in the biotechnology and the biomedicine field.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of small molecule RNA, more specifically, relates to a kind of small molecule RNA and its preparation method and its application in the medicine for specifically up-regulating gene transcription activity. Background technique [0002] The precise regulation of gene expression is of great significance to the development of organisms, and the dysregulation of genes can cause many important diseases, such as cancer, immune diseases, neurological diseases, metabolic diseases (such as diabetes), etc. Therefore, the technology of precise regulation of gene expression has important research and clinical application value. The current method for regulating the expression of endogenous genes is mainly RNA interference (RNA interference) technology. RNA interference technology uses a double-stranded RNA molecule homologous to the target gene, and uses the RNA silencing pathway to inhibit the expression of the target ...
