Intracellular build-up RNAi with single-strand circular RNAs as siRNA precursors

Chem Commun (Camb). 2020 Jan 2;56(3):466-469. doi: 10.1039/c9cc04872c.

Abstract

We herein report a new approach for RNA interference, so-called "build-up RNAi" approach, where single-strand circular RNAs with a photocleavable unit or disulfide moiety were used as siRNA precursors. The advantages of using these circular RNA formats for RNAi were presented in aspects of immunogenicity and cellular uptake.
