Comprehensive LncRNA Knockdown Services for Enhanced Gene Function Analysis

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have gained recognition for their critical roles in various biological processes, including transcription regulation and epigenetic control. Despite their importance, studying lncRNAs has been challenging due to the lack of effective tools for selectively silencing them. IntegrateRNA addresses this gap through its LncRNA Knockdown Service, offering a robust solution to investigate lncRNA functions.

Service Highlights

IntegrateRNA’s LncRNA Knockdown Service provides an innovative and economical approach for post-transcriptional silencing of lncRNAs. The service utilizes locked nucleic acid (LNA) modified small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) for cytoplasmic lncRNAs and LNA-enhanced antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) for those localized in both nucleus and cytoplasm. These methodologies ensure researchers can systematically analyze the roles of lncRNAs within diverse experimental contexts.

siRNA-based LncRNA Knockdown

By employing sequence-specific siRNAs, the service leverages RNA interference pathways to effectively down-regulate endogenous lncRNAs. Using LNA-modified siRNAs, the risk of off-target effects is minimized while maintaining high specificity and reducing cellular toxicity. Furthermore, a library screening service allows for extensive targeting of lncRNAs, ensuring comprehensive experimental coverage.

ASO-based LncRNA Knockdown

ASOs, which combine RNA and DNA, uniquely target nuclear-localized lncRNAs by forming stable DNA-RNA hybrids. The incorporation of RNase H within this mechanism promotes the degradation of the RNA component, effectively silencing lncRNAs in cell cultures and animal models alike. This approach broadens the scope of potential lncRNA targets, offering versatility across different intracellular locales.

Service Workflow

The operational flow of the LncRNA Knockdown Service includes the following key steps:

• Confirmation of lncRNA expression in the chosen cell line.
• Target selection with corresponding siRNA/ASO design.
• Cell transfection with the designed oligonucleotides.
• Validation of lncRNA expression levels post-transfection.
