Human ago2

Manufactured by Fujifilm
Sourced in Japan

The Human Ago2 is a laboratory equipment product from Fujifilm. It is a key component in molecular biology research, responsible for the central function of RNA interference (RNAi). The Ago2 protein plays a crucial role in the RNAi pathway, mediating the silencing of target genes. This product is designed to facilitate researchers in studying and understanding the mechanisms of gene regulation through RNAi technology.

A549 cells were transfected with 10 nM miRNAs by reverse transfection. After 72 h, immunoprecipitation was performed using a microRNA Isolation Kit, Human Ago2 (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd., Osaka, Japan) as described previously [47 (link),48 (link)]. Expression levels of miR-150-5p and miR-150-3p were analyzed by qRT-PCR. MiRNA data were normalized to expressions of miR-16-5p, miR-21-5p, and miR-26a, which were not affected by miR-150-5p and miR-150-3p.

Incorporation of miR-149 into RISC

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To confirm that exogenous miR-149-5p or miR-149-3p were incorporated into RISC, we performed immunoprecipitation assays using a microRNA Isolation Kit, Human Ago2 (Wako, Osaka, Japan) as described previously [19 (link)]. The expression levels of miRNAs bound to Ago2 were measured by TaqMan RT-qPCR. The miRNA expression data were normalized to the expression of miR-26a (product ID: 000404; Applied Biosystems), which was not affected by miR-149-5p or miR-149-3p expression.

We investigated whether the passenger strand of miRNA was incorporated into RNA‐induced silencing complex (RISC). We used a miRNA Isolation Kit, Human Ago2 (Wako, Osaka, Japan) to prepare a high purity fraction of microRNA based on an immunoprecipitation method using a high affinity anti‐Human Ago2 monoclonal antibody. The procedure was carried out according to the manufacturer's protocol.

Argonaute 2 (AGO2)-bound miRNA isolation by immunoprecipitation. PC3 cells were transfected with 10 nM miRNA by reverse transfection and plated in 10-cm plates at 1x10 5 cells/ml. After 48 h, immunoprecipitation was performed using a microRNA Isolation kit, Human Ago2 (Wako, Osaka, Japan) according to the manufacturer's protocol. Expression levels of miRNAs bound to Ago2 were measured by TaqMan RT-qPCR. miRNA expression data were normalized to the expression of miR-26a (product ID: 000404; Applied Biosystems), which was not affected by miR-150-5p and miR-150-3p.
Western blot analysis. Immunoblotting was conducted with diluted monoclonal anti-SPOCK1 antibodies (1:100 dilution; sc-398782; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA) and with diluted anti-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) antibodies (1:1,000 dilution; ab8245; Abcam, Cambridge, UK) as a loading control. The procedures were performed as previously described (16) .

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
