Methods and composition for therapeutic use of RNA interference

The present invention provides methods and compositions for attenuating expression of a target gene in vivo. In general, the method includes administering RNAi constructs (such as small-interfering RNAs (i.e., siRNAs) that are targeted to particular mRNA sequences, or nucleic acid material that can...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention provides methods and compositions for attenuating expression of a target gene in vivo. In general, the method includes administering RNAi constructs (such as small-interfering RNAs (i.e., siRNAs) that are targeted to particular mRNA sequences, or nucleic acid material that can produce siRNAs in a cell), in an amount sufficient to attenuate expression of a target gene by an RNA interference mechanism, e.g., in a sequence-dependent, PKR-independent manner. In particular, the subject method can be used to alter the growth, survival or differentiation of cells for therapeutic and cosmetic purposes.
