ShRNA negative control (NC), sh‐NR2F1‐AS1, sh‐CCND1, miR‐338‐3p mimics, miR‐338‐3p inhibitor and NC were all provided by GenePharma Co, Ltd (Shanghai, China). In brief, sh‐NR2F1‐AS1 was synthesized and loaded into the pENTRTM/U6 vector. After finishing this construction, pENTRTM/U6‐sh‐NR2F1‐AS1 was sequenced to verify the accuracy of the inserted sequence. Thereafter, pENTRTM/U6‐sh‐NR2F1‐AS1 was introduced into FTC‐133 cells and B‐CPAP cells using Lipofactamine2000 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA). Stably transfected cell with antibiotic resistance were sifted and enriched by adding puromycin to culture medium. Based on protocols of Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen), miR‐338‐3p mimics, miR‐338‐3p inhibitor and NC were introduced into FTC‐133 cells and B‐CPAP cells. PcDNA3.1‐NR2F1‐AS1 and pcDNA3.1‐CCND1 were from GenePharma as well. Before plasmid transfection, FTC‐133 cells and B‐CPAP cells were suspended and seeded in six‐well culture plates at 37°C. When cell confluence rate reached 80% to 90%, cell culture media should be replaced by serum‐free fresh medium 3 hours before transfection.

The targeted binding site between circ_0003747 and miR-338-3p was predicted through the online website CircInteractome (https://circinteractome.irp.nia.nih.gov/). Meanwhile, the StarBase online website (http://starbase.sysu.edu.cn/index.php) was utilized for predicting the binding site between miR-338-3p and PLCD3. The wild-type and mutant-type full-length sequences involving the predicted binding sequence of circ_0003747 (circ_0003747-WT/circ_0003747-MUT) and PLCD3 3’-UTR (PLCD3-WT/PLCD3-MUT) were cloned into the Xhol I-Not I restriction sites of pmirGLO firefly luciferase plasmid. All constructs were sequenced to verify the integrity. Lipofectamine 3000 (Invitrogen, USA) was used for Circ_0003747-WT/circ_0003747-MUT and miR-338-3p mimics (GenePharma, China) co-transfection. Luciferase assay was then carried out using a dual-luciferase reporter assay kit according to the manufacturer’s protocol (Promega) 48 h after transfection [25 ]. Data were normalized to Renilla Iuciferase activity and the relative activities of Luciferase were calculated. Besides, the correlation between miR-338-3p and PLCD3 was validated using the same method.

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.
