Photoresponsive nucleic acids for gene regulation

Abstract

Abstract:

For the main purpose of manipulating the functions of molecules, researchers have made great achievements on photoresponsive molecules using light as a trigger. Light has become a promising scientific tool due to it being a clean and non-invasive external stimulant. By attachment of photoresponsive moieties to molecules, the biological activities of molecules can be attenuated by light activation. With wide applications of laser in life sciences, it will be possible to achieve high spatiotemporal resolution. In this review, we focus on photoresponsive nucleic acids for photomodulating gene expression with light activation. With incorporation of photoswitchable or photocleavable moieties, biological behaviors of nucleic acids are photoregulated reversibly or irreversibly. Recent development and applications of photoresponsive nucleic acid in vitro and in vivo have shown a very promising future for manipulation of specific functional genes or disease genes. We expect that photoresponsive nucleic acids will be powerful scientific tools for studying biological events as well as gene therapy agents for genetic diseases.
