Journal ArticleDOI
Microarray analysis shows that some microRNAs downregulate large numbers of target mRNAs
Lee P. Lim,Nelson C. Lau,Philip W. Garrett-engele,Andrew Grimson,Janell M. Schelter,John C. Castle,David P. Bartel,Peter S. Linsley,Jason M. Johnson +8 more
TL;DR: These results suggest that metazoan miRNAs can reduce the levels of many of their target transcripts, not just the amount of protein deriving from these transcripts, and seem to downregulate a far greater number of targets than previously appreciated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expression profiling reveals off-target gene regulation by RNAi
Aimee L. Jackson,Steven R. Bartz,Janell M. Schelter,Sumire V. Kobayashi,Julja Burchard,Mao Mao,Bin Li,Guy Cavet,Peter S. Linsley +8 more
TL;DR: This paper used gene expression profiling to characterize the specificity of gene silencing by siRNAs in cultured human cells and found that siRNA-specific rather than target-specific signatures revealed direct silencing of nontargeted genes containing as few as eleven contiguous nucleotides of identity to the siRNA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expression profiling using microarrays fabricated by an ink-jet oligonucleotide synthesizer.

Davis,Hongyue Dai,Yudong D. He,Sergey B. Stephaniants,Guy Cavet,Wynn L. Walker,Anne E. West,Ernest M. Coffey,Daniel D. Shoemaker,Roland Stoughton,Alan P. Blanchard,Stephen H. Friend,Peter S. Linsley +23 more
TL;DR: It is found that 60-mer oligonucleotides reliably detect transcript ratios at one copy per cell in complex biological samples, and that ink-jet arrays are compatible with several different sample amplification and labeling techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Widespread siRNA "off-target" transcript silencing mediated by seed region sequence complementarity.
Aimee L. Jackson,Julja Burchard,Janell M. Schelter,B. Nelson Chau,Michele A. Cleary,Lee Lim,Peter S. Linsley +6 more
TL;DR: In all cases, off-target transcript silencing was accompanied by loss of the corresponding protein and occurred with dependence on siRNA concentration similar to that of silencing of the target transcript.
Journal ArticleDOI
Position-specific chemical modification of siRNAs reduces “off-target” transcript silencing
Aimee L. Jackson,Julja Burchard,Devin Leake,Angela Reynolds,Janell M. Schelter,Jie Guo,Jason M. Johnson,Lee Lim,Jon Karpilow,Kim Nichols,William Marshall,Anastasia Khvorova,Peter S. Linsley +12 more
TL;DR: Key to the modification was 2'-O-methyl ribosyl substitution at position 2 in the guide strand, which reduced silencing of most off-target transcripts with complementarity to the seed region of the siRNA guide strand.
