Comprehensive LncRNA Knockdown Services for Advanced Research

The exploration of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) has garnered significant interest in recent years due to their roles in transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation, which influence critical biological processes such as cancer, development, and neurological disorders. Creative Biogene’s IntegrateRNA offers a comprehensive LncRNA Knockdown Service aimed at facilitating the study of these complex molecules through effective post-transcriptional silencing methods.

Overview of the Service

Our service utilizes advanced techniques such as locked nucleic acid (LNA) modified siRNAs for cytoplasmic lncRNAs and LNA-enhanced antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) for lncRNAs located both in the nucleus and cytoplasm. This dual approach enables researchers to systematically investigate the functional roles of lncRNAs in various biological contexts, whether in vivo or in vitro, and across diverse model systems.

Our methodologies are supported by sophisticated algorithms that optimize site selection and experimental design, ensuring effective silencing of target lncRNAs while minimizing off-target effects.

siRNA-based LncRNA Knockdown

Utilizing a robust RNA interference pathway, we achieve down-regulation of endogenous lncRNA through the stable expression of sequence-specific siRNAs in target cells. This approach is particularly effective for studying lncRNAs localized in the cytoplasm. Our LNA modified siRNAs guarantee high specificity, reduced cell toxicity, and minimal off-target interaction. Additionally, we provide a siRNA library screening service, which includes custom siRNA design, transfection services, biological assays, and validation of lncRNA depletion in potential treatment candidates.

ASOs-based LncRNA Knockdown

ASOs are designed to target nuclear-localized RNA, creating a DNA-RNA hybrid that is subsequently hydrolyzed by RNase H, effectively silencing the lncRNA. Our highly potent single-stranded ASOs facilitate lncRNA silencing in cell cultures and animal models alike. The versatility of our ASOs allows effective knockdown of lncRNAs, irrespective of their cellular location.

Workflow of the LncRNA Knockdown Service

1. Identification of the lncRNA of interest in the experimental cell line.
2. Selection of target lncRNA and design of siRNAs/ASOs accordingly.
3. Transfection of cells with the designed siRNAs/ASOs targeting the identified lncRNA.
4. Verification of lncRNA expression reduction post-treatment.
