Small interfering RNA (siRNA) exhibits gene-specific RNAi activity by the formation of RISC complex with mRNA of gene. The structural modification of siRNA at appropriate positions affects the structure of RISC complex and then RNAi activity. The modified siRNA are mostly prepared from the incorporation of sugar ring modified, and nucleobase modified RNA nucleotides. It is learned that the introduction of the sterically hindered nucleoside at the specific position of siRNA, severely affects siRNA-RISC complex formation. This report describes the syntheses of bulkier siRNA from 2′-caged-tethered-siRNAs, containing bulkier photolabile protecting group (o-nitrobenzyl) at 2′-position of ribose nucleoside. Importantly, these 2′-caged-siRNAs exhibit the light-dependent RNA interference (RNAi) activity into HEK293T cells for the GFP gene expression. The 2′-caged-siRNAs are synthesized by caging the sense and antisense strand of siRNA. The biochemical evaluations of these caged-siRNAs show that antisense-strand caged-siRNAs decrease RNAi activity temporarily in dark while enhancing RNAi activity, almost like control, after exposure withUV- light. However, 2′-caged sense strand siRNA increase RNAi activity temporarily while decreasing RNAi activity after exposure with light. These caged-siRNAs are also stable in the serum (fetal bovine serum) as like native siRNA. Hence these results strongly support that 2′-caged-tethered-siRNAs are promising analogues to control RNAi activity by UV-light.
