Mirna mimics and inhibitor

Manufactured by GenePharma
Sourced in China

MiRNA mimics and inhibitors are laboratory reagents used in the study of microRNA (miRNA) functions. miRNAs are small, non-coding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression. MiRNA mimics are synthetic molecules designed to mimic the structure and function of specific endogenous miRNAs, while miRNA inhibitors are designed to block the activity of specific miRNAs. These tools are used by researchers to investigate the biological roles of miRNAs in various cellular processes and disease states.

Circulating RNA Overexpression and Knockdown

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To overexpress circAGFG1, the full-length cDNA of circAGFG1 was amplified in 293 T cells and then cloned into over expression vector pLCDH-ciR (Geneseed, Guangzhou, China), which contained a front and back circular frame, while, the mock vector with no circAGFG1 sequence served as a control. To knock down circAGFG1, three siRNAs targeting the back-splice junction site of circAGFG1 and a siRNA-NC were synthesized by Geneseed (Guangzhou, China), after efficiency examination by qRT-PCR, siRNA-3 as the most effective one was used to construct siRNA plasmid vector (Additional file 2: Figure S1). Then the shRNA against circAGFG1 and negative control shRNA-NC were synthesized and cloned into pLL3.7 vector, named as sh-circ and sh-NC, respectively. All vectors were verified by sequencing. The miRNA mimics and inhibitors were purchased from GenePharma (Shanghai, China). Cell transfections were conducted with Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) in accordance with the manufacturer’s protocols. The sequences of siRNAs and shRNAs were listed in Additional file 1: Table S2.

Cervical cancer cell lines, SiHa, HeLa, CaSki, c-41, and c-33A (ATCC; USA), were cultured in RPMI-1640 (Gibco™; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) containing 100 U/mL penicillin, 100 μg/mL streptomycin, and 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), and incubated at 37°C, and 5% CO2. The XLOC_006390 siRNA (5′-UUA AGC UAA CGU UUA CCG CAG TT-3′) and miRNA mimics and inhibitors were purchased from GenePharma (Shanghai, China). Knockdown and overexpression of XLOC_006390 was carried out by transfection with the XLOC_006390 siRNA and recombinant XLOC_006390 pcDNA3.1(+) plasmid, respectively. Both SiHa and Caski cells were plated in 6-well plates for 24 hours and then transfected for 48 hours with the XLOC_006390 siRNA or negative control siRNA using Lipofectamine 2000 (Thermo Fisher Scientific). The transfected cells were used for the following studies.

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.
