摘要: RNA干扰(RNA interference,RNAi)是指由双链RNA(double-stranded RNA,dsRNA)诱发的一种使特定基因沉默的现象。作为一种研究基因功能、发现新基因和抗病毒的新型手段,近年来RNAi技术在昆虫、真菌、植物和哺乳动物等的研究中已被广泛应用,但是在甲壳动物研究中尚处于起步阶段。对甲壳动物RNAi技术实施方法做了简要介绍;着重综述了RNAi技术在甲壳动物CHH家族神经肽类基因功能、蜕皮和生长调控机制、配子及性腺发育调控和甲壳动物抗病毒机制研究上的应用进展。

Abstract: RNA interference(RNAi)is a phenomenon that the gene is post-transcriptionally inhibited by using specific double-stranded RNA(dsRNA), gene silencing will be happened eventually. As a new technology, RNAi contributes to the understanding of the the functions and mechanisms of genes. RNAi is widely used in insects, fungus, plants and mammals, however, the reseachs on the crustacean are relatively less than the former. This review highlights the advancements of RNAi in crustaceans, including the study of methods, gene functions about CHH family, mechanisms of molting and gonadal regulation. In addition, RNAi plays an important role in an antiviral defense in crustacean.
