miR-142a-3p Regulation of Rab3a mRNA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Potential target genes of miR-142a-3p were predicted using online software, including Targetscan Mouse (http://www.targetscan.org/), MicroCosm Targets (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/enright-srv/microcosm/), and Miranda (http://mirdb.org/). Among the candidate target genes, Rab3a contains a conserved mRNA 3′UTR sequence element that is predicted to be complementary to the seed region of mouse miR-142a-3p. The Rab3a mRNA 3′UTR sequence was amplified from mouse brain by RT-PCR, and the mutation in the miR-142a-3p binding site was amplified using overlap PCR. The PCR-amplified wild-type Rab3a mRNA 3′UTR (Rab3a-WT) and the mutated Rab3a mRNA 3′UTR (Rab3a-MUT) were then cloned into the firefly luciferase pmirGLO reporter (Promega, Madison, USA) using the NheI and XhoI sites. The Dual-Luciferase Reporter Assay System (Promega, Madison, USA), with firefly luciferase (luc2) as the primary reporter was used to monitor the interaction of miR-142a-3p and Rab3a mRNA 3′UTR. Renilla luciferase (hRluc-neo) was used as a control reporter for normalization and selection. HEK293T cells were co-transfected with Rab3a-WT/Rab3a-MUT, miRNA mimic/inhibitor/NC, and the Renilla luciferase construct, and the luciferase activity in these cell lysates was measured at 24 h post-transfection.

The rat Ulk1 3′UTR was amplified by RT-PCR from mouse brain cDNA (P15). Mutation of the miR-142-5p binding site was achieved using the Multisite-Quickchange kit (Stratagene, USA) according to the manufacturer's protocol. To further confirm the regulation of Ulk1 by miR-142-5p, the luciferase pmirGLO reporter (Promega, Madison, USA) was constructed and then confirmed by sequencing. Luciferase activity was detected 48 h after the co-transfection of the luciferase construct (with either wild-type or mutant-type miR-142-5p binding sites), the miR mimics/inhibitors or control (RiboBio, Guangzhou, China), and a Renilla luciferase vector in HEK293T cells. The Dual-Luciferase Reporter Assay System (Promega, Madison, USA) was used to quantify the effects of a miR-142-5p interaction with the Ulk1 3′UTR.

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.
