Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The interactions between miR-27b-3p and circRANBP17 or KDM1A were predicted by starbase (http://starbase.sysu.edu.cn/agoClipRNA.php? source = mRNA) and DIANA tools (http://carolina.imis.athena-innovation.gr), respectively. The sequences of circRANBP17 and KDM1A 3′-UTR were amplified and then inserted into psiCHECK2 vector (Hanbio Biotechnology (Shanghai, China), named as circRANBP17 WT and KDM1A 3′-UTR WT, respectively. The miR-27b-3p mimics (miR-NC) and luciferase reporter (circRANBP17 WT, circRANBP17 MUT, KDM1A 3′-UTR WT or KDM1A 3′-UTR MUT) were co-transfected into SK-N-SH and IMR-32 cells. The luciferase activity was detected using Dual-Lucy Assay Kit (Solarbio).

Wild type (WT) and mutant type (MUT) of LINC00261 and DIRAS1 fragments containing the binding sites of miR-552-3p were constructed and cloned into the psiCHECK-2 vector (Hanbio Biotechnology Co., Ltd, Shanghai, China). The constructed dual-luciferase reporter plasmids were co-transfected with mimic-NC or miR-552-3p-mimic into 293T cells. After 48 h, cells were collected and evaluated using the dualluciferase reporter gene assay system (Promega, Madison, WI, USA).
RNA pull-down assay TE-1 cells were digested using trypsin and lysed in RNA-binding protein immunoprecipitation (RIP) lysis buffer. The lysis buffer was divided into several aliquots and frozen at -80℃. Next, 1 µg biotin-labeled RNA and 500 µL structure buffer were added into EP tubes using the RNA-protein magnetic bead sedimentation kit (Pierce, Rockford, IL). Cells were immersed in water at 95℃ for 2 min, soaked in ice for 3 min, cultured with 50 µL fully resuspended beads at 4℃ overnight with the supernatant discarded, centrifuged at 12 g for 3 min, rinsed 3 times with 500 µL RIP cleaning solution and mixed with 10 µL cell lysate for 1 h. In addition, protein in the incubated bead-RNA-protein mixture was eluted. Protein concentration was determined using the bicinchoninic acid method. RNA expression was determined by RT-qPCR.

miR-200a-3p Regulation of TXNIP 3'UTR

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The ability of miR-200a-3p to interact with the TXNIP 3′-untranslated region (UTR) was predicted using the TargetScan (http://www.targetscan.org) and miRDB (http://mirdb.org) databases. These putative interactions were then tested via a luciferase reporter approach. Briefly, wild-type (wt) and mutant (mut) versions of the TXNIP 3′-UTR were cloned into the psiCHECK-2 vector (Hanbio Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Shanghai, China) to prepare reporter plasmids which were then co-transfected into HEK-293T cells along with miR-200a-3p mimics or corresponding negative control constructs using Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen, USA). At 48 h post-transfection, a Dual-Luciferase assay kit (Promega, USA) was used based on provided directions, with Renilla luciferase being used for normalization purposes.

Sequences for wild-type (WT) or mutant (Mut) NORAD or the 3′-UTR of MTDH containing the predicted binding sites for miR-224-3p were subcloned into a psiCHECK-2 vector (Hanbio Biotechnology, Shanghai, China). The luciferase reporter plasmids were co-transfected into ESCC cells with a miR-224-3p mimic or negative control (NC). After 48 h, the cells were collected and counted. A total of 5 × 105 cells were used to measure luciferase activity. Relative luciferase activity was measured by using an HBLumi Dual-luciferase reporter assay kit (Hanbio Biotechnology) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Renilla luciferase activity was normalized to firefly luciferase activity. To evaluate the effect of the miR-224-3p mimic on firefly luciferase activity, the miRNA mimic NC group was used as control. All assays were carried out in triplicate. The mutant sequences of NORAD and the MTDH-3′-UTR were created by using the FAST Site-Directed Mutagenesis Kit (Tiangen, Beijing, China).

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.
