Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Methods, compositions and kits are provided for increasing the expression of a gene product in a cell by contacting the cell with a modified small activating RNA (saRNA) molecule, which provides for an increase in gene expression that is improved over the increase in expression provided by traditional saRNAs. These methods and compositions find use in any application in which an increase in gene expression in a cell is desired.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

That which is claimed is: 1. A method for increasing the expression of a p21 gene in a cell, the method comprising: introducing into a cell an effective amount of a modified p21 gene-specific small activating RNA (saRNA), the modified p21 gene-specific saRNA comprising: i. an antisense strand comprising a mismatch at the 5′ terminal nucleotide compared to antisense strand of a p21 gene-specific control saRNA; and ii. a sense strand of the p21 gene-specific control saRNA, the se…
