- Abstract:
The present invention relates to the use of the editing profile of PDE8A pre-mRNA as a specific bio marker of ADARs activities in evolved primate, particularly in Human tissues. The present invention also relates to an in vitro method for predicting in Human an alteration of the mechanism of the ADARs catalyzed pre-mRNA editing of target genes, by analyzing the PDE8A pre-mRNA editing profile in a peripheral tissue sample containing cells expressing said PDE8A pre-mRNA, such as blood sample. The present invention is also directed to an in vitro method for the screening of potential therapeutic compound and to predict and assess therapeutic efficacy and/or efficiency or to diagnose potential severe brain or peripheral drug side effects implementing said PDE8A pre-mRNA editing profile as specific biomarker. The present invention is further directed to a method for determining the PDE8A pre-mRNA editing profile in Human, particularly by capillary electrophoresis single-strand conformation polymorphism (CE-SSCP) method after amplification by a nested PCR. Finally the invention relates to particular nucleic acid primers implemented in said nested PCR and kit comprising such sets of primers and human cells capable of expressing PDE8A and ADARs.
