We have developed an original vector library that allowed us to exploit the phenomenon of RNA interference but also allowed us to avoid the confounding effects of the interferon response. In the present work, we used our library of small interfering RNA expression vectors to examine the genes involved in apoptosis that was induced by double-stranded RNA. To our surprise, screening of our library revealed two novel double-stranded RNA-induced apoptotic pathways, a JNK/SAPK-mediated mitochondrial pathway and an ERK2-related pathway, both of which appeared to be independent of the serine-threonine protein kinase-dependent caspase pathway. We also found that MST2 and protein kinase C alpha both activated the proapoptotic signal mediated by ERK2. The results of our screening analysis suggested the utility of large scale screenings with libraries of small interfering RNA expression vectors.
