Provided is a method for inducing innate apolipoprotein B editing catalytic protein (APOBEC) driven C>U RNA deamination of RNA in a cell comprising contacting the cell with an effective amount of atpenin A5 with or without interferon. Specifically, APOBEC3A is a cytidine deaminase enzyme that edits RNA transcripts of hundreds of cellular genes upon stimulation of innate immune cells by low oxygen tension (hypoxia) or antiviral factor interferon. Atpenin A5 induces APOBEC3A-mediated RNA editing in normoxia to levels comparable to those seen in hypoxia. The method can be used to treat viral conditions.
本发明提供了一种诱导细胞中先天性脂蛋白 B 编辑催化蛋白(APOB
EC)驱动的 C>U RNA 脱
氨的方法,该方法包括使细胞与有效量的阿替匹林 A5 接触,并添加或不添加干扰素。具体来说,APOB
EC3A 是一种
胞苷脱
氨酶,当先天性免疫细胞受到低氧张力(缺氧)或抗病毒因子干扰素的刺激时,它能编辑数百个细胞
基因的 RNA 转录本。Atpenin A5 能在常氧状态下诱导 APOB
EC3A 介导的 RNA 编辑,其
水平与缺氧状态下的
水平相当。该方法可用于治疗病毒性疾病。
