Patent

CA 2684879

The present invention relates to a method of identifying a gene or gene product associated with transcription dependent memory formation in an animal comprising the steps of: (a) administering to said animal sufficient small interfering RNA (siRNA) specific for the gene to inhibit gene function; (b) training said animal under conditions sufficient to induce transcription dependent memory formation in a normal untreated animal; and (c) determining the level of transcription dependent memory formation induced by the training of the treated animal. The present invention provides methods of using small interfering RNAs (siRNA) in hippocampus to identify genes and gene product whose inhibition affects contextual and temporal long-term (LTM) memory, but not short-term memory (STM).

La présente invention a pour objet un procédé d'identification d'un gène ou d'un produit génique associé à la formation de la mémoire dépendante de la transcription chez un animal comprenant les étapes consistant à : (a) administrer au dit animal suffisamment de petits ARN interférents (siARN) spécifiques du gène pour inhiber la fonction du gène; (b) entraîner ledit animal dans des conditions suffisantes pour induire une formation de mémoire dépendante de la transcription chez un animal normal non traité; et (c) déterminer le taux de formation de mémoire dépendante de la transcription induite par l'entraînement de l'animal traité. La présente invention a pour objet des procédés d'utilisation de petits ARN interférents (siARN) dans l'hippocampe pour identifier des gènes et des produits géniques dont l'inhibition affecte la mémoire à long terme (MLT) contextuelle et temporelle, mais pas la mémoire à court terme (MCT).
