Mirna mimic or inhibitor

Manufactured by GenePharma
Sourced in China

MiRNA mimic or inhibitor is a type of laboratory equipment used in molecular biology research. It is designed to either mimic or inhibit the function of specific microRNAs (miRNAs), which are small, non-coding RNA molecules that play a role in gene expression regulation. The core function of this product is to facilitate the study of miRNA-mediated biological processes.

Each siRNA, miRNA mimic or inhibitor (GenePharm, Shanghai, China) was transfected into CAL27 cells for 48 h using Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA). Total RNA was extracted using the Trizol reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA), and then reverse transcribed to cDNA using PrimeScriptTM RT-PCR Kit (Takara, Dalian, China) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. For miRNA quantitation, reverse transcription was performed using the PrimeScript RT Reagent Kit (Takara, Dalian, China) with specific stem-loop primers. Quantitative Real-Time PCR (qRT-PCR) was performed using SYBR® Premix DimerEraser™ (Takara, Dalian, China) in a Roche LightCycler 480 II Real-Time PCR system (Roche, Basel, Switzerland). The threshold cycle value (Ct) of each product was determined and normalized against that of the internal control GAPDH or U6 (for miRNA), and the differences were compared by t-test using SPSS version 23.0, the statistical significance set at P < 0.05.

Modulation of miR-199b-5p Activity

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HEK293T, human endometrial stromal cell (HESC), and Ishikawa cell lines were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection and cultured in DMEM medium (Gibco) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Gibco). MiR-199b-5p mimic (double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) oligonucleotides) and miR-199b-5p inhibitor (single-stranded, chemically modified oligonucleotides) (GenePharma) were used for overexpression and inhibition of miR-199b-5p activity in HEK293T and Ishikawa cells (Supplemental Table 2), respectively. To analyze the function of an miRNA, cells were plated in six-well plates and cultured to 50%-70% confluence before transfection with MiR-199b-5p mimic or inhibitor (GenePharma) using Lipofectamine LTX (Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Cells were transfected with RNAs at a final concentration of 10 nM; the negative controls for miRNA mimic or inhibitor (GenePharma) were transfected as matched controls.

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.
