Bioinformatic software, including miRanda and TargetScan, was used to predict that miR-24 could specifically combine with the 3′ untranslated region (3′UTR) of S100A8 gene. The wild-type S100A8 3′UTR binding site and mutant binding site were cloned into pmiR-RB-REPORT™ vector (RiboBio, Guangzhou, China) to construct wild-type luciferase reporter vector (pmiR-S100A8-wt) and mutant-type vector (pmiR-S100A8-mut) by Genescript (Nanjing, China). In this assay, the luciferase reporter vector, miR-24 agonist (agomiR-24), or negative control agonist (agomiR-NC) (Invitrogen, Foster City, CA) were cotransfected into HEK 293T cells. After that, the dual-luciferase reporter assay system (Promega, Madison, WI) was used to check the relative luciferase activity according to the manufacturer’s protocol.

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.
