FIELD OF INVENTION
[0003] The present invention relates to RNA interference
("RNAi").
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0004] Relatively recently, researchers observed that double
stranded RNA ("dsRNA") could be used to inhibit protein expression.
This ability to silence a gene has broad potential for treating
human diseases, and many researchers and commercial entities are
currently investing considerable resources in developing therapies
based on this technology.
[0005] Double stranded RNA induced gene silencing can occur on at
least three different levels: (i) transcription inactivation, which
refers to RNA guided DNA or histone methylation; (ii) siRNA induced
mRNA degradation; and (iii) mRNA induced transcriptional
attenuation.
[0006] It is generally considered that the major mechanism of RNA
induced silencing (RNA interference, or RNAi) in mammalian cells is
mRNA degradation. Initial attempts to use RNAi in mammalian cells
focused on the use of long strands of dsRNA. However, these
attempts to induce RNAi met with limited success, due in part to
the induction of the interferon response, which results in a
general, as opposed to a target-specific, inhibition of protein
synthesis. Thus, long dsRNA is not a viable option for RNAi in
mammalian systems.
[0007] More recently it has been shown that when short (18-30 bp)
RNA duplexes are introduced into mammalian cells in culture,
sequence-specific inhibition of target mRNA can be realized without
inducing an interferon response. Certain of these short dsRNAs,
referred to as small inhibitory RNAs ("siRNAs"), can act
catalytically at sub-molar concentrations to cleave greater than
95% of the target mRNA in the cell. A description of the mechanisms
for siRNA activity, as well as some of its applications are
described in Provost et al. (2002) Ribonuclease Activity and RNA
Binding of Recombinant Human Dicer, EMBO J. 21(21): 5864-5874;
Tabara et al. (2002) The dsRNA Binding Protein RDE-4 Interacts with
RDE-1, DCR-1 and a DexH-box Helicase to Direct RNAi in C. elegans,
Cell 109(7):861-71; Ketting et al. (2002) Dicer Functions in RNA
Interference and in Synthesis of Small RNA Involved in
Developmental Timing in C. elegans; Martinez et al.,

Cell 110(5):563; Hutvagner & Zamore (2002) A microRNA in a
multiple-turnover RNAi enzyme complex, Science 297:2056.
[0008] From a mechanistic perspective, introduction of long double
stranded RNA into plants and invertebrate cells is broken down into
siRNA by a Type III endonuclease known as Dicer. Sharp, RNA
interference--2001, Genes Dev. 2001, 15:485. Dicer, a
ribonuclease-III-like enzyme, processes the dsRNA into 19-23 base
pair short interfering RNAs with characteristic two base 3'
overhangs. Bernstein, Caudy, Hammond, & Hannon (2001) Role for
a bidentate ribonuclease in the initiation step of RNA
interference, Nature 409:363. The siRNAs are then incorporated into
an RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) where one or more helicases
unwind the siRNA duplex, enabling the complementary antisense
strand to guide target recognition. Nykanen, Haley, & Zamore
(2001) ATP requirements and small interfering RNA structure in the
RNA interference pathway, Cell 107:309. Upon binding to the
appropriate target mRNA, one or more endonucleases within the RISC
cleaves the target to induce silencing. Elbashir, Lendeckel, &
Tuschl (2001) RNA interference is mediated by 21- and 22-nucleotide
RNAs, Genes Dev. 15:188, FIG. 1.
[0009] The interference effect can be long lasting and may be
detectable after many cell divisions. Moreover, RNAi exhibits
sequence specificity. Kisielow, M. et al. (2002) Isoform-specific
knockdown and expression of adaptor protein ShcA using small
interfering RNA, J. Biochem. 363:1-5. Thus, the RNAi machinery can
specifically knock down one type of transcript, while not affecting
closely related mRNA. These properties make siRNA a potentially
valuable tool for inhibiting gene expression and studying gene
function and drug target validation. Moreover, siRNAs are
potentially useful as therapeutic agents against: (1) diseases that
are caused by over-expression or misexpression of genes; and (2)
diseases brought about by expression of genes that contain
mutations.
[0010] Successful siRNA-dependent gene silencing depends on a
number of factors. One of the most contentious issues in RNAi is
the question of the necessity of siRNA design, i.e., considering
the sequence of the siRNA used. Early work in C. elegans and plants
circumvented the issue of design by introducing long dsRNA (see,
for instance, Fire, A. et al. (1998) Nature 391:806-811). In this
primitive organism, long dsRNA molecules are cleaved into siRNA by
Dicer, thus generating a diverse population of duplexes that can
potentially cover the entire transcript. While some fraction of
these molecules are non-functional (i.e., induce little or no
silencing) one or more have the potential to be highly functional,
thereby silencing the gene of interest and alleviating the need for
siRNA design. Unfortunately, due to the interferon response, this
same approach is unavailable for mammalian systems. While this
effect can be circumvented by bypassing the Dicer cleavage step and
directly introducing siRNA, this tactic carries with it the risk
that the chosen siRNA sequence may be non-functional or
semi-functional.
[0011] A number of researches have expressed the view that siRNA
design is not a crucial element of RNAi. On the other hand, others
in the field have begun to explore the possibility that RNAi can be
made more efficient by paying attention to the design of the siRNA.
Unfortunately, none of the reported methods have provided a
satisfactory scheme for reliably selecting siRNA with acceptable
levels of functionality. Accordingly, there is a need to develop
rational criteria by which to select siRNA with an acceptable level
of functionality, and to identify siRNA that have this improved
level of functionality, as well as to identify siRNAs that are
hyperfunctional.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

efficiency of RNAi, particularly in mammalian systems. Accordingly,
the present invention provides kits, siRNAs and methods for
increasing siRNA efficacy.

determining the relative functionality of the at least two
siRNAs.

criteria are embodied in a formula comprising:

with other and further advantages and embodiments, reference is
made to the following description taken in conjunction with the
examples, the scope of which is set forth in the appended
claims.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES
[0079] FIG. 1 shows a model for siRNA-RISC interactions. RISC has
the ability to interact with either end of the siRNA or miRNA
molecule. Following binding, the duplex is unwound, and the
relevant target is identified, cleaved, and released.
[0080] FIG. 2 is a representation of the functionality of two
hundred and seventy siRNA duplexes that were generated to target
human cyclophilin, human diazepam-binding inhibitor (DB), and
firefly luciferase.
[0081] FIG. 3a is a representation of the silencing effect of 30
siRNAs in three different cells lines, HEK293, DU145, and Hela.
FIG. 3b shows the frequency of different functional groups (>95%
silencing (black), >80% silencing (gray), >50% silencing
(dark gray), and <50% silencing (white)) based on GC content. In
cases where a given bar is absent from a particular GC percentage,
no siRNA were identified for that particular group. FIG. 3c shows
the frequency of different functional groups based on melting
temperature (Tm).
[0082] FIGS. 4A-4E are representations of a statistical analysis
that revealed correlations between silencing and five
sequence-related properties of siRNA: (A) an A at position 19 of
the sense strand, (B) an A at position 3 of the sense strand, (C) a
U at position 10 of the sense strand, (D) a base other than G at
position 13 of the sense strand, and (E) a base other than C at
position 19 of the sense strand. All variables were correlated with
siRNA silencing of firefly luciferase and human cyclophilin. siRNAs
satisfying the criterion are grouped on the left (Selected) while
those that do not, are grouped on the right (Eliminated). Y-axis is
"% Silencing of Control." Each position on the X-axis represents a
unique siRNA.
[0083] FIGS. 5A and 5B are representations of firefly luciferase
and cyclophilin siRNA panels sorted according to functionality and
predicted values using Formula VIII. The siRNA found within the
circle represent those that have Formula VIII values
(SMARTSCORES.TM., or siRNA rank) above zero. siRNA outside the
indicated area have calculated Formula VIII values that are below
zero. Y-axis is "Expression (% Control)." Each position on the
X-axis represents a unique siRNA.
[0084] FIG. 6A is a representation of the average internal
stability profile (AISP) derived from 270 siRNAs taken from three
separate genes (cyclophilin B, DBI and firefly luciferase). Graphs
represent AISP values of highly functional, functional, and
non-functional siRNA. FIG. 6B is a comparison between the AISP of
naturally derived GFP siRNA (filled squares) and the AISP of siRNA
from cyclophilin B, DBI, and luciferase having >90% silencing
properties (no fill) for the antisense strand. "DG" is the symbol
for .DELTA.G, free energy.
[0085] FIG. 7 is a histogram showing the differences in duplex
functionality upon introduction of base pair mismatches. The X-axis
shows the mismatch introduced in the siRNA and the position it is
introduced (e.g., 8C>A reveals that position 8 (which normally
has a C) has been changed to an A). The Y-axis is "% Silencing
(Normalized to Control)." The samples on the X-axis represent
siRNAs at 100 nM and are, reading from left to right: 1A to C, 1A
to G, 1A to U; 2A to C, 2A to G, 2A to U; 3A to C, 3A to G, 3A to

antisense strand modification with 2'-O-methylation on
functionality. FIG. 8B is an expression profile showing a
comparison of sense strand off-target effects for IGF1R-3 and
2'-O-methyl IGF1R-3. Sense strand off-targets (lower box) are not
induced when the 5' end of the sense strand is modified with
2'-O-methyl groups (top box).
[0087] FIG. 9 shows a graph of SMARTSCORES.TM., or siRNA rank,
versus RNAi silencing values for more than 360 siRNA directed
against 30 different genes. SiRNA to the right of the vertical bar

DBI, PLK, Firefly Luciferase, and Renilla Luciferase) by varying
numbers of randomly selected siRNA and four rationally designed
(SMART-selected) siRNA chosen using the algorithm described in
Formula VIII. In addition, RNAi induced by a pool of the four
SMART-selected siRNA is reported at two different concentrations
(100 and 400 nM). 10F is a comparison between a pool of randomly
selected EGFR siRNA (Pool 1) and a pool of SMART-selected EGFR
siRNA (Pool 2). Pool 1, S1-S4 and Pool 2 S1-S4 represent the
individual members that made up each respective pool. Note that
numbers for random siRNAs represent the position of the 5' end of
the sense strand of the duplex. The Y-axis represents the %

and EEA.1). siRNA were selected using Formula VIII. "Pool"
represents a mixture of duplexes 1-4. Total concentration of each
siRNA in the pool is 25 nM. Total concentration=4.times.25=100
nM.
[0090] FIG. 12 is a representation of the gene silencing
capabilities of rationally-selected siRNA directed against ten

nM concentrations. The Y-axis represents the amount of expression
relative to the non-specific (ns) and transfection mixture
control.
[0093] FIG. 15 represents a functional walk where siRNA beginning
on every other base pair of a region of the luciferase gene are
tested for the ability to silence the luciferase gene. The Y-axis
represents the percent expression relative to a control. The X-axis
represents the position of each individual siRNA. Reading from left
to right across the X-axis, the position designations are 1, 3, 5,

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Definitions
[0104] Unless stated otherwise, the following terms and phrases
have the meanings provided below:
Complementary
[0105] The term "complementary" refers to the ability of
polynucleotides to form base pairs with one another. Base pairs are
typically formed by hydrogen bonds between nucleotide units in
antiparallel polynucleotide strands. Complementary polynucleotide
strands can base pair in the Watson-Crick manner (e.g., A to T, A
to U, C to G), or in any other manner that allows for the formation
of duplexes. As persons skilled in the art are aware, when using
RNA as opposed to DNA, uracil rather than thymine is the base that
is considered to be complementary to adenosine. However, when a U
is denoted in the context of the present invention, the ability to
substitute a T is implied, unless otherwise stated.
[0106] Perfect complementarity or 100% complementarity refers to
the situation in which each nucleotide unit of one polynucleotide
strand can hydrogen bond with a nucleotide unit of a second
polynucleotide strand. Less than perfect complementarity refers to
the situation in which some, but not all, nucleotide units of two
strands can hydrogen bond with each other. For example, for two
20-mers, if only two base pairs on each strand can hydrogen bond
with each other, the polynucleotide strands exhibit 10%
complementarity. In the same example, if 18 base pairs on each
strand can hydrogen bond with each other, the polynucleotide
strands exhibit 90% complementarity.
Deoxynucleotide
[0107] The term "deoxynucleotide" refers to a nucleotide or
polynucleotide lacking a hydroxyl group (OH group) at the 2' and/or
3' position of a sugar moiety. Instead, it has a hydrogen bonded to
the 2' and/or 3' carbon. Within an RNA molecule that comprises one
or more deoxynucleotides, "deoxynucleotide" refers to the lack of
an OH group at the 2' position of the sugar moiety, having instead
a hydrogen bonded directly to the 2' carbon.
Deoxyribonucleotide
[0108] The terms "deoxyribonucleotide" and "DNA" refer to a
nucleotide or polynucleotide comprising at least one sugar moiety
that has an H, rather than an OH, at its 2' and/or 3'position.
Duplex Region
[0109] The phrase "duplex region" refers to the region in two
complementary or substantially complementary polynucleotides that
form base pairs with one another, either by Watson-Crick base
pairing or any other manner that allows for a stabilized duplex
between polynucleotide strands that are complementary or
substantially complementary. For example, a polynucleotide strand
having 21 nucleotide units can base pair with another
polynucleotide of 21 nucleotide units, yet only 19 bases on each
strand are complementary or substantially complementary, such that
the "duplex region" has 19 base pairs. The remaining bases may, for
example, exist as 5' and 3' overhangs. Further, within the duplex
region, 100% complementarity is not required; substantial
complementarity is allowable within a duplex region. Substantial
complementarity refers to 79% or greater complementarity. For
example, a mismatch in a duplex region consisting of 19 base pairs
results in 94.7% complementarity, rendering the duplex region
substantially complementary.
Filters
[0110] The term "filter" refers to one or more procedures that are
performed on sequences that are identified by the algorithm. In
some instances, filtering includes in silico procedures where
sequences identified by the algorithm can be screened to identify
duplexes carrying desirable or undesirable motifs. Sequences
carrying such motifs can be selected for, or selected against, to
obtain a final set with the preferred properties. In other
instances, filtering includes wet lab experiments. For instance,
sequences identified by one or more versions of the algorithm can
be screened using any one of a number of procedures to identify
duplexes that have hyperfunctional traits (e.g., they exhibit a
high degree of silencing at subnanomolar concentrations and/or
exhibit high degrees of silencing longevity).
Gene Silencing
[0111] The phrase "gene silencing" refers to a process by which the
expression of a specific gene product is lessened or attenuated.
Gene silencing can take place by a variety of pathways. Unless
specified otherwise, as used herein, gene silencing refers to
decreases in gene product expression that results from RNA
interference (RNAi), a defined, though partially characterized
pathway whereby small inhibitory RNA (siRNA) act in concert with
host proteins (e.g., the RNA induced silencing complex, RISC) to
degrade messenger RNA (mRNA) in a sequence-dependent fashion. The
level of gene silencing can be measured by a variety of means,
including, but not limited to, measurement of transcript levels by
Northern Blot Analysis, B-DNA techniques, transcription-sensitive
reporter constructs, expression profiling (e.g., DNA chips), and
related technologies. Alternatively, the level of silencing can be
measured by assessing the level of the protein encoded by a
specific gene. This can be accomplished by performing a number of
studies including Western Analysis, measuring the levels of
expression of a reporter protein that has e.g., fluorescent
properties (e.g., GFP) or enzymatic activity (e.g., alkaline
phosphatases), or several other procedures.
miRNA
[0112] The term "miRNA" refers to microRNA.
Nucleotide
[0113] The term "nucleotide" refers to a ribonucleotide or a
deoxyribonucleotide or modified form thereof, as well as an analog
thereof. Nucleotides include species that comprise purines, e.g.,
adenine, hypoxanthine, guanine, and their derivatives and analogs,
as well as pyrimidines, e.g., cytosine, uracil, thymine, and their
derivatives and analogs.
[0114] Nucleotide analogs include nucleotides having modifications
in the chemical structure of the base, sugar and/or phosphate,
including, but not limited to, 5-position pyrimidine modifications,
8-position purine modifications, modifications at cytosine
exocyclic amines, and substitution of 5-bromo-uracil; and
2'-position sugar modifications, including but not limited to,
sugar-modified ribonucleotides in which the 2'-OH is replaced by a
group such as an H, OR, R, halo, SH, SR, NH.sub.2, NHR, NR.sub.2,
or CN, wherein R is an alkyl moiety. Nucleotide analogs are also
meant to include nucleotides with bases such as inosine, queuosine,
xanthine, sugars such as 2'-methyl ribose, non-natural
phosphodiester linkages such as methylphosphonates,
phosphorothioates and peptides.
[0115] Modified bases refer to nucleotide bases such as, for
example, adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine, uracil, xanthine,
inosine, and queuosine that have been modified by the replacement
or addition of one or more atoms or groups. Some examples of types
of modifications that can comprise nucleotides that are modified
with respect to the base moieties include but are not limited to,
alkylated, halogenated, thiolated, aminated, amidated, or
acetylated bases, individually or in combination. More specific
examples include, for example, 5-propynyluridine,
5-propynylcytidine, 6-methyladenine, 6-methylguanine,
N,N,-dimethyladenine, 2-propyladenine, 2-propylguanine,
2-aminoadenine, 1-methylinosine, 3-methyluridine, 5-methylcytidine,
5-methyluridine and other nucleotides having a modification at the
5 position, 5-(2-amino)propyl uridine, 5-halocytidine,
5-halouridine, 4-acetylcytidine, 1-methyladenosine,
2-methyladenosine, 3-methylcytidine, 6-methyluridine,
2-methylguanosine, 7-methylguanosine, 2,2-dimethylguanosine,
5-methylaminoethyluridine, 5-methyloxyuridine, deazanucleotides
such as 7-deaza-adenosine, 6-azouridine, 6-azocytidine,
6-azothymidine, 5-methyl-2-thiouridine, other thio bases such as
2-thiouridine and 4-thiouridine and 2-thiocytidine, dihydrouridine,
pseudouridine, queuosine, archaeosine, naphthyl and substituted
naphthyl groups, any O- and N-alkylated purines and pyrimidines
such as N6-methyladenosine, 5-methylcarbonylmethyluridine, uridine
5-oxyacetic acid, pyridine-4-one, pyridine-2-one, phenyl and
modified phenyl groups such as aminophenol or 2,4,6-trimethoxy
benzene, modified cytosines that act as G-clamp nucleotides,
8-substituted adenines and guanines, 5-substituted uracils and
thymines, azapyrimidines, carboxyhydroxyalkyl nucleotides,
carboxyalkylaminoalkyl nucleotides, and alkylcarbonylalkylated
nucleotides. Modified nucleotides also include those nucleotides
that are modified with respect to the sugar moiety, as well as
nucleotides having sugars or analogs thereof that are not ribosyl.
For example, the sugar moieties may be, or be based on, mannoses,
arabinoses, glucopyranoses, galactopyranoses, 4'-thioribose, and
other sugars, heterocycles, or carbocycles.
[0116] The term nucleotide is also meant to include what are known
in the art as universal bases. By way of example, universal bases
include but are not limited to 3-nitropyrrole, 5-nitroindole, or
nebularine. The term "nucleotide" is also meant to include the N3'
to P5' phosphoramidate, resulting from the substitution of a
ribosyl 3' oxygen with an amine group.
[0117] Further, the term nucleotide also includes those species
that have a detectable label, such as for example a radioactive or
fluorescent moiety, or mass label attached to the nucleotide.
Off-Target Silencing and Off-Target Interference
[0118] The phrases "off-target silencing" and "off-target
interference" are defined as degradation of mRNA other than the
intended target mRNA due to overlapping and/or partial homology
with secondary mRNA messages.
Polynucleotide
[0119] The term "polynucleotide" refers to polymers of nucleotides,
and includes but is not limited to DNA, RNA, DNA/RNA hybrids
including polynucleotide chains of regularly and/or irregularly
alternating deoxyribosyl moieties and ribosyl moieties (i.e.,
wherein alternate nucleotide units have an --OH, then and --H, then
an --OH, then an --H, and so on at the 2' position of a sugar
moiety), and modifications of these kinds of polynucleotides,
wherein the attachment of various entities or moieties to the
nucleotide units at any position are included.
Polyribonucleotide
[0120] The term "polyribonucleotide" refers to a polynucleotide
comprising two or more modified or unmodified ribonucleotides
and/or their analogs. The term "polyribonucleotide" is used
interchangeably with the term "oligoribonucleotide."
Ribonucleotide and Ribonucleic Acid
[0121] The term "ribonucleotide" and the phrase "ribonucleic acid"
(RNA), refer to a modified or unmodified nucleotide or
polynucleotide comprising at least one ribonucleotide unit. A
ribonucleotide unit comprises an hydroxyl group attached to the 2'
position of a ribosyl moiety that has a nitrogenous base attached
in N-glycosidic linkage at the 1' position of a ribosyl moiety, and
a moiety that either allows for linkage to another nucleotide or
precludes linkage.
siRNA
[0122] The term "siRNA" refers to small inhibitory RNA duplexes
that induce the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway. These molecules
can vary in length (generally 18-30 base pairs) and contain varying
degrees of complementarity to their target mRNA in the antisense
strand. Some, but not all, siRNA have unpaired overhanging bases on
the 5' or 3' end of the sense strand and/or the antisense strand.
The term "siRNA" includes duplexes of two separate strands, as well
as single strands that can form hairpin structures comprising a
duplex region.
[0123] siRNA may be divided into five (5) groups (non-functional,
semi-functional, functional, highly functional, and
hyper-functional) based on the level or degree of silencing that
they induce in cultured cell lines. As used herein, these
definitions are based on a set of conditions where the siRNA is
transfected into said cell line at a concentration of 100 nM and
the level of silencing is tested at a time of roughly 24 hours
after transfection, and not exceeding 72 hours after transfection.
In this context, "non-functional siRNA" are defined as those siRNA
that induce less than 50% (<50%) target silencing.
"Semi-functional siRNA" induce 50-79% target silencing. "Functional
siRNA" are molecules that induce 80-95% gene silencing.
"Highly-functional siRNA" are molecules that induce greater than
95% gene silencing. "Hyperfunctional siRNA" are a special class of
molecules. For purposes of this document, hyperfunctional siRNA are
defined as those molecules that: (1) induce greater than 95%
silencing of a specific target when they are transfected at
subnanomolar concentrations (i.e., less than one nanomolar); and/or
(2) induce functional (or better) levels of silencing for greater
than 96 hours. These relative functionalities (though not intended
to be absolutes) may be used to compare siRNAs to a particular
target for applications such as functional genomics, target
identification and therapeutics.
SMARTSCORE.TM., or siRNA Rank
[0124] The term "SMARTSCORE.TM.", or "siRNA rank" refers to a
number determined by applying any of the formulas to a given siRNA
sequence. The term "SMART-selected" or "rationally selected" or
"rational selection" refers to siRNA that have been selected on the
basis of their SMARTSCORES.TM., or siRNA ranking.
Substantially Similar
[0125] The phrase "substantially similar" refers to a similarity of
at least 90% with respect to the identity of the bases of the
sequence.
Target
[0126] The term "target" is used in a variety of different forms
throughout this document and is defined by the context in which it
is used. "Target mRNA" refers to a messenger RNA to which a given
siRNA can be directed against. "Target sequence" and "target site"
refer to a sequence within the mRNA to which the sense strand of an
siRNA shows varying degrees of homology and the antisense strand
exhibits varying degrees of complementarity. The phrase "siRNA
target" can refer to the gene, mRNA, or protein against which an
siRNA is directed. Similarly, "target silencing" can refer to the
state of a gene, or the corresponding mRNA or protein.
Transfection
[0127] The term "transfection" refers to a process by which agents
are introduced into a cell. The list of agents that can be
transfected is large and includes, but is not limited to, siRNA,
sense and/or anti-sense sequences, DNA encoding one or more genes
and organized into an expression plasmid, proteins, protein
fragments, and more. There are multiple methods for transfecting
agents into a cell including, but not limited to, electroporation,
calcium phosphate-based transfections, DEAE-dextran-based
transfections, lipid-based transfections, molecular conjugate-based
transfections (e.g., polylysine-DNA conjugates), microinjection and
others.
[0128] The present invention is directed to improving the
efficiency of gene silencing by siRNA. Through the inclusion of
multiple siRNA sequences that are targeted to a particular gene
and/or selecting an siRNA sequence based on certain defined
criteria, improved efficiency may be achieved.
[0129] The present invention will now be described in connection
with preferred embodiments. These embodiments are presented in
order to aid in an understanding of the present invention and are
not intended, and should not be construed, to limit the invention
in any way. All alternatives, modifications and equivalents that
may become apparent to those of ordinary skill upon reading this

[0130] Furthermore, this disclosure is not a primer on RNA
interference. Basic concepts known to persons skilled in the art

provides a kit for gene silencing, wherein said kit is comprised of
a pool of at least two siRNA duplexes, each of which is comprised
of a sequence that is complementary to a portion of the sequence of
one or more target messenger RNA, and each of which is selected
using non-target specific criteria. Each of the at least two siRNA
duplexes of the kit complementary to a portion of the sequence of
one or more target mRNAs is preferably selected using Formula
X.
[0133] According to a second embodiment, the present invention
provides a method for selecting an siRNA, said method comprising
applying selection criteria to a set of potential siRNA that
comprise 18-30 base pairs, wherein said selection criteria are
non-target specific criteria, and said set comprises at least two
siRNAs and each of said at least two siRNAs contains a sequence
that is at least substantially complementary to a target gene; and
determining the relative functionality of the at least two
siRNAs.
[0134] In one embodiment, the present invention also provides a
method wherein said selection criteria are embodied in a formula

[0183] According to a sixth embodiment, the present invention
provides a hyperfunctional siRNA that is capable of silencing
Bcl2.
[0184] According to a seventh embodiment, the present invention
provides a method for developing an siRNA algorithm for selecting
functional and hyperfunctional siRNAs for a given sequence. The
method comprises:
[0185] (a) selecting a set of siRNAs;
[0186] (b) measuring the gene silencing ability of each siRNA from
said set;
[0187] (c) determining the relative functionality of each
siRNA;
[0188] (d) determining the amount of improved functionality by the
presence or absence of at least one variable selected from the
group consisting of the total GC content, melting temperature of
the siRNA, GC content at positions 15-19, the presence or absence
of a particular nucleotide at a particular position, relative
thermodynamic stability at particular positions in a duplex, and

sequence; and
[0189] (e) developing an algorithm using the information of step

[0190] According to this embodiment, preferably the set of siRNAs
comprises at least 90 siRNAs from at least one gene, more
preferably at least 180 siRNAs from at least two different genes,
and most preferably at least 270 and 360 siRNAs from at least three
and four different genes, respectively. Additionally, in step (d)
the determination is made with preferably at least two, more
preferably at least three, even more preferably at least four, and
most preferably all of the variables. The resulting algorithm is
not target sequence specific.
[0191] In another embodiment, the present invention provides
rationally designed siRNAs identified using the formulas above.
[0192] In yet another embodiment, the present invention is directed
to hyperfunctional siRNA.
[0193] The ability to use the above algorithms, which are not
sequence or species specific, allows for the cost-effective
selection of optimized siRNAs for specific target sequences.
Accordingly, there will be both greater efficiency and reliability
in the use of siRNA technologies.
[0194] The methods disclosed herein can be used in conjunction with
comparing internal stability profiles of selected siRNAs, and
designing an siRNA with a desirable internal stability profile;
and/or in conjunction with a selection either for or against
sequences that contain motifs that induce cellular stress, for
example, cellular toxicity.
[0195] Any of the methods disclosed herein can be used to silence
one or more genes by introducing an siRNA selected, or designed, in
accordance with any of the methods disclosed herein. The siRNA(s)
can be introduced into the cell by any method known in the art,
including passive uptake or through the use of one or more
vectors.
[0196] Any of the methods and kits disclosed herein can employ
either unimolecular siRNAs, siRNAs comprised of two separate
polynucleotide strands, or combinations thereof. Any of the methods
disclosed herein can be used in gene silencing, where two or more
genes are silenced by a single administration of siRNA(s). The
siRNA(s) can be directed against two or more target genes, and
administered in a single dose or single transfection, as the case
may be.
Optimizing siRNA
[0197] According to one embodiment, the present invention provides
a method for improving the effectiveness of gene silencing for use
to silence a particular gene through the selection of an optimal
siRNA. An siRNA selected according to this method may be used
individually, or in conjunction with the first embodiment, i.e.,
with one or more other siRNAs, each of which may or may not be
selected by this criteria in order to maximize their
efficiency.
[0198] The degree to which it is possible to select an siRNA for a
given mRNA that maximizes these criteria will depend on the
sequence of the mRNA itself. However, the selection criteria will
be independent of the target sequence. According to this method, an
siRNA is selected for a given gene by using a rational design. That
said, rational design can be described in a variety of ways.
Rational design is, in simplest terms, the application of a proven
set of criteria that enhance the probability of identifying a
functional or hyperfunctional siRNA. In one method, rationally
designed siRNA can be identified by maximizing one or more of the
following criteria:
[0199] (1) A low GC content, preferably between about 30-52%.
[0200] (2) At least 2, preferably at least 3 A or U bases at

30.degree. C. and most preferably not stable at greater than
20.degree. C. [0208] (10) A base other than U at position 5 of the
sense strand. [0209] (11) A base other than A at position 11 of the

(74) A G base at position 11 of the sense strand. [0273] (75) A G
base at position 12 of the sense strand. [0274] (76) A G base at
position 14 of the sense strand. [0275] (77) A G base at position
15 of the sense strand. [0276] (78) A G base at position 16 of the
sense strand. [0277] (79) A base other than a G at position 17 of
the sense strand. [0278] (80) A base other than a G at position 18
of the sense strand. [0279] (81) A base other than a G at position
19 of the sense strand.
[0280] The importance of various criteria can vary greatly. For
instance, a C base at position 10 of the sense strand makes a minor
contribution to duplex functionality. In contrast, the absence of a
C at position 3 of the sense strand is very important. Accordingly,
preferably an siRNA will satisfy as many of the aforementioned
criteria as possible.
[0281] With respect to the criteria, GC content, as well as a high
number of AU in positions 15-19 of the sense strand, may be
important for easement of the unwinding of double stranded siRNA
duplex. Duplex unwinding has been shown to be crucial for siRNA
functionality in vivo.
[0282] With respect to criterion 9, the internal structure is
measured in terms of the melting temperature of the single strand
of siRNA, which is the temperature at which 50% of the molecules
will become denatured. With respect to criteria 2-8 and 10-11, the
positions refer to sequence positions on the sense strand, which is
the strand that is identical to the mRNA.
[0283] In one preferred embodiment, at least criteria 1 and 8 are
satisfied. In another preferred embodiment, at least criteria 7 and
8 are satisfied. In still another preferred embodiment, at least
criteria 1, 8 and 9 are satisfied.
[0284] It should be noted that all of the aforementioned criteria
regarding sequence position specifics are with respect to the 5'
end of the sense strand. Reference is made to the sense strand,
because most databases contain information that describes the
information of the mRNA. Because according to the present invention
a chain can be from 18 to 30 bases in length, and the
aforementioned criteria assumes a chain 19 base pairs in length, it
is important to keep the aforementioned criteria applicable to the
correct bases.
[0285] When there are only 18 bases, the base pair that is not
present is the base pair that is located at the 3' of the sense
strand. When there are twenty to thirty bases present, then
additional bases are added at the 5' end of the sense chain and
occupy positions .sup.-1 to .sup.-11. Accordingly, with respect to
SEQ. ID NO. 0001 NNANANNNNUCNAANNNNA and SEQ. ID NO. 0028
GUCNNANANNNNUCNAANNNNA, both would have A at position 3, A at
position 5, U at position 10, C at position 11, A and position 13,
A and position 14 and A at position 19. However, SEQ. ID NO. 0028
would also have C at position -1, U at position -2 and G at
position -3.
[0286] For a 19 base pair siRNA, an optimal sequence of one of the
strands may be represented below, where N is any base, A, C, G, or
U:
