简介：在cis的第二上的一个部件的transcriptional活动的直接否定的影响被叫作transcriptional干扰(TI)。U6是通常使用在基于向量的RNAi驾驶小发卡RNA(shRNA)表示的一个类型IIIRNA聚合酶III倡导者。在病毒的向量的设计和构造，多重抄写单位可以在空间有限向量在靠近的最近被安排。决定U6倡导者活动是否能被TI影响为在基因治疗的目标shRNA的表示是批评的或loss-of-function学习。在这研究，我们设计了并且实现shRNA和外长的基因表情由二个独立transcriptional单位被驾驶的一个修改retroviral系统。我们安排了在二倡导者安排驾驶shRNA表示和UbiC倡导者的U6倡导者。在主要巨噬细胞，我们发现U6倡导者活动被UbiC倡导者禁止什么时候在分叉的安排然而并非在双人脚踏车。相反，PKG倡导者没有如此的否定影响。而不是提高U6倡导者活动，CMVenhancer面对UbiC倡导者在U6倡导者活动有重要否定影响。我们的结果显示那项U6倡导者活动能被TI影响在一近似倡导者特定并且安排依赖者举止。
