Mechanism of RNAi:
Natural mechanism:
siRNA: mediates degradation (knockdown) of
a target mRNA molecule in a sequencespecific manner.
miRNA: very similar, but typically suppress
translation without cleavage
1000 miRNAs, target and regulate about 50% of mammalian genes
Complicated & poorly understood

mirVana™ mimics and inhibitors- novel tools
for miRNA functional analysis
Mature miRNAs enter the
miRNA pathway when
transfected into cultured
mammalian cells
mirVana™ miRNA mimics
These are double‐stranded oligonucleotides (with 2nt overhangs) that mimic the natural microRNA. These molecules are not processed by RISC machinery, they don’t have any loops or additional bases.
Antisense oligonucleotides
bind and inhibit miRNAs
mirVana™ miRNA inhibitors
These are single‐stranded oligonucleotides
with chemical modifications, that irreversibly bind and inactivate the natural miRNA.

What makes mirVana™ mimics & inhibitors better?
¾ Inhibitors: much more potent due to novel chemical modifications
(specificity is about the same, impossible to enhance w/o sacrificing potency)
¾ Mimics: more specific due to chemical modifications inactivating star strand
(potency is about the same, impossible to boost it as we're mimicking
the natural miRNA)
¾ Both mimics and inhibitors are now available at in vivo scales & purity
¾Latest Sanger version V16.0 – for tubes and libraries
¾ Standard purity: desalted (instead of HPLC) - better turn around time
