摘要

RNA G-quadruplex (GQ) structures act as regulators of a diverse array of cellular processes including translation, premRNA processing, and mRNA targeting. We report here a strategy of harnessing the natural ability of RNA GQs to inhibit translation by rationally inducing a GQ on a targeted mRNA to knockdown endogenous gene expression. We chose to target eIF-4E because of its key role in translation initiation and overexpression in multiple cancers and with the expectation that downregulation of eIF-4E would result in antiproliferation of cancer cells. Targeted hybrid (RNA:DNA) GQ structures were induced at the 5′-untranslated region (UTR) and the protein coding region of the eIF-4E mRNA by rationally designed and partially modified extraneous DNA sequences and their effect on eIF-4E expression was determined. The formation of a stable induced G-quadruplex was established by biophysical and biochemical methods. Thermodynamic parameters calculated from CD melting indicate formation of a stable induced GQ at a physiologically relevant salt concentration. We established the specificity and efficacy of the induced GQ formation by monitoring the targeted repression of a reporter gene. Most importantly we have demonstrated that inducing GQ in the 5′-UTR and the protein coding region of eIF-4E mRNA in human cancer cells results in 30% and 60% inhibition of the endogenous protein expression, respectively. Treating with the GQ inducing oligonucleotide sequences resulted in a decrease in the viability of human cancer cells in a dose-dependent manner. The above concept opens up a new strategy for targeted modulation of endogenous gene expression.
