Alleviation of off-target effects from vector-encoded shRNAs via codelivered RNA decoys by Mockenhaupt, Stefan, Grosse, Stefanie, Rupp, Daniel, Bartenschlager, Ralf, Grimm, Dirk

“…However, in principle, the sense strand also possesses silencing capacity that may contribute to adverse RNAi side effects including off-target gene regulation. Here, we address this concern with a novel strategy that reduces sense strand activity of vector-encoded shRNAs via codelivery of inhibitory tough decoy (TuD) RNAs. …”

Part I : Peptide functionalized materials for gram-negative bacteria targeted PDT and LPS sensing. Part II : Small peptide and membrane lipid based self-assembled nanostructures fo... by Liu, Fang

“…Generally, Gram-negative bacterial pathogens have additional outer membranes mainly composed of highly conserved and unique lipopolysaccharide (LPS) molecules, which serve as permeability barriers to prevent the cell bodies from toxic antimicrobial molecules1-2 including many photosensitizers, which have been successfully used in photoinactivation of Gram-positive strains.3-4 Furthermore, LPS, a potent inducer to human innate immune systems, hence called endotoxin, is now primarily responsible for sepsis associated with the infections of Gram-negative pethogens.5-6 Therefore, the most promising strategy is use of LPS neutralizing peptide as the binding ligand to deliver antibacterial agents meanwhile minimize the side effects.7 The first objective of the research in part I is the design and synthesis of photosensitizer-peptide conjugates for multivalent targeted cellular imaging and photodynamic inactivation (PDI) against Gram-negative bacterial strains. …”
