Abstract RNA interference (RNAi), a posttranscriptional gene silencing process mediated by small double-stranded RNA specifically complementary to the targeted transcript, has been used extensively in the development of novel therapeutic approaches against various human diseases including chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). Here, we report the successful construction of a tetracycline-controlled siRNA in CML cell line K562. A K562 cell line stably expressing the reverse tetracycline-controlled transactivator (rtTA) was constructed. A tetracycline responsive element (TRE) was integrated into the RNA polymerase III promoter region of pBS/U6 that was used to drive specific siRNA to target the novel cytokine receptor-like factor 3 (CRLF3) gene. The results show that rtTA was able to recognize the TRE to prevent siRNA-mediated exogenous and endogenous CRLF3 gene repressions. Moreover, CRLF3–siRNA mediated gene repression could be induced in a dose-dependent manner in the presence of doxycycline. Thus, the inducible siRNAi system in K562 cells might be useful for the study of RNAi-mediated therapeutic approaches against CML.

The presentation of auditory oddball stimuli (novels) among otherwise repeated sounds (standards) triggers a well-identified chain of electrophysiological responses: The detection of acoustic change (mismatch negativity), the involuntary orientation of attention to (P3a) and its reorientation from the novel. Behaviorally, novels reduce performance in an unrelated visual task (novelty distraction). Past studies of the cross-modal capture of attention by acoustic novelty have typically discarded from their analysis the data from the standard trials immediately following a novel, despite some evidence in mono-modal oddball tasks of distraction extending beyond the presentation of deviants/novels (postnovelty distraction). The present study measured novelty and postnovelty distraction and examined the hypothesis that both types of distraction may be underpinned by common frontally-related processes by comparing young and older adults. Our data establish that novels delayed responses not only on the current trial and but also on the subsequent standard trial. Both of these effects increased with age. We argue that both types of distraction relate to the reconfiguration of task-sets and discuss this contention in relation to recent electrophysiological studies.
