TEST the Effect of siRNA on GFP Expression

To assess the efficiency of the siRNA we designed a sensor that consisted of GFP fused with the viral target sequence for the siRNA. If the siRNA is active and efficient, the mRNA will be degraded leading to no or decreased GFP fluorescence signal compared to cells without siRNA treatment.

Flow cytometry reveals suppression of EGFP expression by siRNA induction in yeast

Flow cytometry offers a means for efficient and precise evaluation of GFP expression at the individual cell level. In our experimental setup, we cultivated genetically modified yeast strains under tightly regulated environmental conditions. Subsequently, upon initiation of siRNA and GFP production, we subjected each yeast cell culture to flow cytometry. This method enables accurate measurement of any changes in GFP signal. A reduction in GFP fluorescence signifies the efficacy of the siRNA. We used flow cytometry to measure the GFP fluorescence intensities in yeast cultures 24h after inducing the expression of shRNA and the GFP-target sequence reporter. In the absence of shRNA expression, the GFP-reporter-containing cultures showed at least 3 times higher GFP fluorescence signal, confirming sufficient expression of the reporter protein (Fig. 1A). Additionally, we observed variations in fluorescence intensities among different GFP reporter constructs, suggesting that the viral sequence introduced into the 3'-UTR of the transcript may influence mRNA stability. Reduced mRNA stability, in turn, leads to impaired translation and decreased GFP fluorescence. For this reason, to compare the impact of the shRNA on GFP reporter expression, we normalized the GFP fluorescence data for each strain to the data obtained for its parent strain without shRNA expression (Fig. 1B). Interestingly, the anti-DWV shRNA V10 caused a drop in the GFP reporter fluorescence signal to background level (Fig. 1B).

Figure 1. Expressing shRNA in the engineered RNAi-capable yeast enables testing of siRNA activities. (A) Plot showing the mean GFP fluorescence intensities of a population of cells expressing shRNA v10 and the GFP reporters, measured by flow cytometry 24h after induction. (B) The GFP fluorescence data presented in panel (A) was normalized to cells expressing the GFP reporter, but not shRNA. The mean with standard deviation from 3 biological replicates for shRNA v10 is shown.
