ON-TARGET modification ensures antisense strand bias

The ON-TARGET modification promotes correct strand uptake by blocking the sense (passenger) strand from being taken up by the RISC process. This is a useful method for ensuring antisense (guide) strand processing. All proprietary siRNA modifications (ON-TARGETplus, Accell, siSTABLE) incorporate this sense-strand modification to promote antisense (guide) strand-facilitated silencing.

ON-TARGETplus siRNA dual-strand modification pattern for reduction of off-targets

otp reduce off target effects figure lrg

A 2006 publication demonstrates that off-target effects are primarily driven by antisense strand seed activity.1 Therefore, sense strand inactivation alone does not decrease the total number of off-target genes. ON-TARGETplus modifications account for both strands:

Sense strand is modified to prevent interaction with RISC and favor antisense strand uptake
Antisense strand seed region is modified to minimize seed-related off-targeting

The ON-TARGETplus modification pattern dramatically reduces off-targets. Off-target effects induced by the indicated siRNAs were quantified using microarray analysis. For each target, three different siRNAs were used: unmodified, sense strand-inactivated, and ON TARGETplus-modified. Data shown represents genes down-regulated by two-fold or more. HEK293 cells were transfected with 100 nM siRNA using 0.2 µL of DharmaFECT 1. Data was analyzed at 24 hours.

Accell delivery and gene silencing in cardiomyocytes without a transfection reagent

Neonatal rat ventricular myocytes were incubated with 1 µM Accell Green (A; Cat# D-001950-01) or Red (B; Cat# D-001960-01) Non-targeting siRNA for 72 hours in Accell delivery media (Cat# B-005000). Nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue). Labeled control uptake showed diffuse cytoplasmic localization in nearly all cells.

The bar graph indicates the level of gene silencing achieved with Accell GAPD Control siRNA (Cat# D-001930-03) and Pool (Cat# D-001930-30) control reagents when used with neonatal rat ventricular myocyte (NRVM) media or Accell delivery media.

Myocytes were prepared as described in Maass AH & Buvoli M. Cardiomyocyte preparation, culture, and gene transfer. Methods Mol Biol. 2007;366: 321-30. mRNA expression was determined by QuantiGene branched DNA assay (Panomics).

siSTABLE-modified siRNAs resist degradation by nucleases

Conventional siRNA is degraded within minutes in serum-containing environments, making in vivo use of siRNA problematic. This graph presents evidence that the siSTABLE modification pattern dramatically extends the half-life of siRNA in the presence of 100% human serum as compared to Stealth RNAi (Invitrogen).

Accell siRNA also includes these stability-enhancing modifications, as well as providing delivery to difficult-to-transfect cells without a transfection reagent.

2,6-Diaminopurine 2,6-Diaminopurine Modification Code: DAP Description: 2,6-Diaminopurine (2-aminoadenine, DAP) is an adenine analog which can be found in S-2L cyanophage DNA where 2,6-diaminopurine is completely substituted for adenine. Studies have shown that DAP in DNA is compatible with normal DNA function. The DAP-T base pair possesses an extra hydrogen bond compared with A-T because of the additional -NH₂ pointing toward the minor groove of DNA. DAP is a common tool in nucleic acid chemistry which can be used to study molecular recognition between DNA or RNA and ligands, both small and large. Double-stranded siRNAs having DAP modification incorporated into the antisense strand were capable of inducing RNAi activity.

2-Aminopurine 2-Aminopurine Modification Code: 2AP Description: 2-Aminopurine (2AP) is a fluorescent analog of guanosine and adenosine. Because 2AP can base pair with uridine, it can replace normal A:U pairs without substantial deformation of duplexes. 2-Aminopurine is widely used in biochemical settings as a site-specific fluorescent probe of DNA and RNA structure and base-flipping and -folding.

4-Thio-uridine 4-Thio-uridine Modification Code: 4-S-U Description: 4-Thio-uridine (s4U) is a thiol-modified ribonucleoside, and is typically used to modify oligos slated for RNA, or RNA-protein, structural studies. Because 4-thio-rU is photoreactive, 4-thio-rU modified RNA oligonucleotides can be used as photoaffinity probes in the role of substrate analogs for characterizing the enzyme:substrate complex. In addition, because the thiol group is chemically reactive, other moieties can be conjugated at the thiol group of 4-thio-rU. Such a strategy was used to introduce spin labels to 4-thio-rU-containing RNA oligonucleotides. Unit Structure: Unit Molecular Weight: 322.23 References: Kumar R. K. and Davis, D. R.

5-Methyl-cytidine 5-Methyl-cytidine Modification Code: 5-M-C Description: The nucleobase modification 5-methylcytosine (5-mC) is widespread both in DNA and different cellular RNAs. In tRNA, 5-mC sites are typically located around the variable region and anticodon loop and research has shown that tRNA methylation stabilizes tRNA secondary structure, affects aminoacylation and codon recognition, and confers metabolic stability. Additionally, ribosomal RNA methylation was shown to be involved in translational fidelity and tRNA recognition. 5-Methyl-cytosine enhances DNA or RNA duplex stability by elevating melting temperature 0.5 - 1.3°C per addition.

Inosine Inosine Modification Code: I Description: The most commonly used degenerate modified base is inosine, which serves as a more-or-less universal base, as it is capable of pairing with all four natural nucleotides, though not with equal affinity (I-C >I-A>I-T~I-G>I-I). Even so, inosine continues to be successfully used in this role in a variety of applications requiring degeneracy at certain base positions of primers and probes, particularly at wobble positions, where degeneracy might be needed to permit annealing to many different, but closely related, sequences.

Pyrrolo-cytidine Pyrrolo-cytidine Modification Code: pC Description: Pyrrolo-cytidine is a fluorescent bicyclic analog of cytidine that base pairs specifically with guanosine (but not A, C, or U). Its excitation and emission maxima are 350 nm and 450 nm, respectively. Because these values are significantly different from the UV absorption maxima of DNA/RNA (260 nm) and protein (280 nm), pyrrolo-C is useful for probing the structures of DNA/RNA or protein-nucleic acid complexes.

2'-Amino-butyryl-pyrene-uridine 2'-Amino-butyryl-pyrene-uridine Modification Code: 2'-P-U Description: Pyrene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) consisting of four fused benzene rings. Because pyrene can be chemically modified in various ways and its fluorescence quantum efficiencies are high in both monomers and excimer emissions, pyrene-modified olignucleotides have been exploited as fluorescent probes of DNA and RNA in hybridization assays. In addition, pyrene fluorescence is largely affected by environmental factors, such as solvent and nearby nucleotide bases, which has led to its development as a potential probe for nucleic acid structures.

3'-Puromycin 3'-Puromycin Modification Code: Pmn Description: One of the most challenging requirements associated with combinatorial chemistry is the recovery of sequence information of the oligonucleotide or peptide selected by the screening assay. A method has been developed to generate a fusion product between mRNA and the polypeptide it encodes using in vitro translation of synthetic RNAs 3'-labeled with puromycin, an antibiotic that mimics transfer RNA. Puromycin binds in the ribosome's A site, forms a peptide bond with the growing peptide chain, and blocks further peptide elongation. By linking puromycin to mRNA, a peptide-RNA fusion product results from the translation of the message linking the encoding mRNA with its peptide product.
