Overview

siRNA against REST (siREST) is a preclinical-stage RNA interference (RNAi) therapeutic designed to silence the RE1-Silencing Transcription Factor (REST), also known as Neuron-Restrictive Silencer Factor (NRSF). REST is a transcriptional repressor that is abnormally upregulated in various neurodegenerative diseases, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and certain cancers like glioblastoma. By targeting and degrading REST mRNA, this siRNA-based agent aims to restore the expression of essential neuronal genes, mitigate motor neuron loss, and reduce protein aggregation. In preclinical models, delivery of REST-targeting siRNA has shown therapeutic potential in extending survival in ALS models and inhibiting tumor progression in glioblastoma.
