Selective reduction of dormant maternal mRNAs in mouse oocytes by RNA interference

Svoboda, Petr, Stein, Paula, Hayashi, Harutoshi, Schultz, Richard M.·2000·Development

Abstract

Specific mRNA degradation mediated by double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), which is termed RNA interference (RNAi), is a useful tool with which to study gene function in several systems. We report here that in mouse oocytes, RNAi provides a suitable and robust approach to study the function of dormant maternal mRNAs. Mos (originally known as c-mos) and tissue plasminogen activator (tPA, Plat) mRNAs are dormant maternal mRNAs that are recruited during oocyte maturation; translation of Mos mRNA results in the activation of MAP kinase. dsRNA directed towards Mos or Plat mRNAs in mouse oocytes effectively results in the specific reduction of the targeted mRNA in both a time- and concentration-dependent manner. Moreover, dsRNA is more potent than either sense or antisense RNAs. Targeting the Mos mRNA results in inhibiting the appearance of MAP kinase activity and can result in parthenogenetic activation. Mos dsRNA, therefore, faithfully phenocopies the Mos null mutant. Targeting the Plat mRNA with Plat dsRNA results in inhibiting production of tPA activity. Finally, effective reduction of the Mos and Plat mRNA is observed with stoichiometric amounts of Mos and Plat dsRNA, respectively.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
