antisense RNA

antisense RNA

(ˈæntɪsɛns)
n
(Genetics) molecules transcribed, not from DNA in the usual way, but from DNA strands complementary to those that produce normal messenger RNA. Antisense RNA occurs in nature and is inhibitory on gene action. It can be produced synthetically and offers such therapeutic possibilities as turning off viral genes

Some well-studied lncRNAs, including H19, NBR2, ARF, HOTAIR (HOX transcript antisense RNA), and NEAT1, have been shown to act as oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes, which are also correlated with drug resistance (12-16).
The region contains ribosome-binding sites which are necessary for the expression of Zeb2 protein, and Zeb2 antisense RNA can increase the expression of Zeb2 protein in this way.
It includes not only the insertion of a gene into the cell for expression, but also gene silencing with RNA interference (RNAi) and antisense RNA, aptamers (DNA or RNA polymers which bind to a protein target), and oncolytic viruses.
