LC cells were plated 24 h before transfection in Ham’s F10 medium and transfected at a density of ~50–60% confluency (
HiPerFect; Qiagen, Germantown, MD, USA) following the manufacturer’s instructions. In brief, 10 nM of miRNA-29c-3p mimic or miRNA-29c-3p inhibitor with 2.5uL
HiPerFect were diluted in 1mL serum-free
OPTIMEM medium(Invitrogen), then incubated for 15 min at room temperature and transferred to the appropriate well with LC cells. The cells were then incubated overnight at 37 °C in 5% CO
2–95% air. The efficiency of the transfection was confirmed by qPCR. Negative controls consisted of cells with no treatment, non-targeting control for mimic experiments, and
inhibitor control (Qiagen, Germantown, MD, USA) for inhibitor experiments. The miRNA-29c-3p mimic are double-stranded RNA oligonucleotides designed to mimic endogenously mature miRNA-29c activity. The miR-29c-3p inhibitors are single-strand RNA oligonucleotides designed to inhibit miRNA activity.
