Mir 15a mimic

Manufactured by RiboBio
Sourced in China

The MiR-15a mimic is a synthetic RNA molecule that mimics the function of the naturally occurring microRNA (miRNA) miR-15a. miRNAs are small, non-coding RNA molecules that play a crucial role in gene expression regulation. The MiR-15a mimic can be used in research applications to study the biological functions and molecular mechanisms associated with miR-15a.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human PC cell lines AsPC‐1 and PaCa‐2 and human pancreatic duct epithelial cell line HPDE6‐C7 were obtained from ATCC (Rockville, MD, USA). The cells were cultured in RPMI‐1640 or DMEM (Gibco, Waltham, MA, USA) supplemented with 10% FBS. The DLEU2 expression plasmid (pcDNA3.1‐DLEU2) containing DLEU2 (variant uc001vdy.3), and the SMAD2 expression plasmid pcDNA3.1‐SMAD2 were constructed by GenePharma (Shanghai, China). In addition, siRNAs targeting DLEU2, siRNAs targeting SMAD2, control siRNA, miR‐455 mimic, miR‐15a mimic, miR‐16 mimic, control mimic, miR‐455 inhibitor, and control inhibitor were prepared by RiboBio (Guangzhou, China). Lipofectamine 3000 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) was used for cell transfection following the manufacturer's instructions.

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.
