RNA interference of α-synuclein. (A) Design of RNAi molecules based on limited potential off-targeting revealed eight possible sequences, labeled miSyn1–8 (see Tables 1 and 2). miSyn1, 2, 3, 4, and 8 targeted to hSNCA140 and splice variants hSNCA126, 112, and 98. (B) In HEK293 cells, western blotting revealed marked knockdown of hSNCA for miSyn3–5; n = 6 samples per lane. Scrambled RNAi used a positive control. (C) miSyn4 knocked down hSNCA in vivo by qPCR; n = 8 samples. (D) miSyn4 did not affect mouse SNCA by qPCR; n = 9 samples. *p < 0.05 by t-test.
