In addition, no significant reduction in viral protein or RNA levels was seen in WNV replicon-expressing cells transfected with siRNAs targeting the NS3 gene using lipid-based reagents. Also, a recent report showed that siRNA toward the TNF-a gene reduced cytokine response in DENV-infected DCs, highlighting the potential of targeted RNAi-based approaches to simultaneously decrease viral replication and the detrimental host immune response (Subramanya et al., 2010) . In addition, it has been shown that WNV (Chotkowski et al., 2008) and DENV (Mukherjee & Hanley, 2010) infection (Mukherjee & Hanley, 2010) of Drosophila cell lines induce functional virus-specific siRNAs that promote a protective RNAi response. So far we have described the antiviral effect of the RNAi mechanism induced by exogenous delivery of siRNA or precursors, and how cellular miRNA can target sequences artificially introduced within the genome of flaviviruses. ./cache/cord-282742-eyukbot7.txt ./txt/cord-282742-eyukbot7.txt
