[Therefore, a stoichiometric excess of a virus-specific siRNA, for] example, could saturate RNAi and interrupt the pathway’s normal functions in the cell. Interferons, which form part of the host’s defense against viral infection, are activated by long dsRNA (more than 500 bp). It is now apparent that siRNAs (Sledz et al, 2003) as well as shRNAs expressed from DNA vectors (Bridge et al, 2003) can trigger the activation of interferons. However, there is no evidence that the activation of interferons by short RNAs influences the degree or specificity of RNA silencing. In addition, these effects have to be reconciled with the manufacturing in cells of many thousands of copies of pre-miRNAs (Lagos et al, 2001) that do not appear to activate interferons.

Interferons, which form part of the host's defense against viral infection, are activated by long dsRNA (more than 500 bp). It is now apparent that siRNAs45 as well as short hairpin RNAs (short sequences of RNA that make tight hairpin turns and can be used to silence gene expression) expressed from DNA vectors46 can trigger the activation of interferons. However, there is no evidence that the activation of interferons by short RNAs influences the degree or specificity of RNA silencing. In addition, these effects have to be reconciled with the manufacturing in cells of many thousands of copies of pre-micro RNAs47,48,49 that do not appear to activate interferons.
