Abstract

siRNAs are a class of dsRNAs, 21-23 nucleotides in length, which are able to silence their target genes through enzymatic cleavage of target mRNA. The sequence-specific gene-silencing by siRNA can be used as a new therapeutic approach for treatment of a variety of diseases that are incurable by conventional drugs. Many efforts have been made to overcome the problems related to delivery, stability, off-target gene silencing and immunostimulatory effects of siRNA. Different studies have carried out done to improve in vitro and in vivo delivery of naked or formulated siRNAs. In this review, different aspects of using siRNA as a new class of drugs will be discussed.
