Argonaute2 ago2

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

Argonaute2 (Ago2) is a laboratory equipment product offered by the Merck Group. Ago2 is a protein that is a key component of the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), which plays a central role in the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway. Ago2 binds to small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) or microRNAs (miRNAs) and uses them to identify and cleave target mRNA molecules, thereby regulating gene expression.

RIP Assay for miRNA-mRNA Interactions

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
RIP assay was conducted as described by Chen et al.22 (link) The Imprint® RNA immunoprecipitation kit (Sigma) was used for RIP assay in compliance with recommendations. Antibodies used in the RIP assay were bought from Millipore (Billerica, MA, USA), including Argonaute-2 (Ago2; Millipore) or IgG (Millipore) antibodies. Furthermore, HPMECs were transfected with bio-miR-31-5p-wt, bio-miR-31-5p-mut, or bio-miR-NC (RiboBio) at a final concentration of 50 nM for 48 h before harvest. Cell lysates were treated with streptavidin-coated magnetic beads overnight at 4 °C. After centrifugation at 10,000×g for 10 min, RNA complexes bound to the beads were extracted for RT-qPCR assay.

Argonaute2-Mediated circVMP1 Regulation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A commercial EZ-Magna RIPTM RNA-Binding Protein Immunoprecipitation Kit (Millipore) was used to perform RIP assay. Cell extracts were mixed with beads coated with Argonaute2 (Ago2; Millipore) or Immunoglobulin G (IgG; Millipore) antibody. The enrichment of circVMP1, miR-524-5p, METTL3, and SOX2 was analyzed by RT-qPCR. RIP assay was performed three times.

Investigating miR-1253 and hsa_circ_0000190 Interaction

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To confirm the ability of miR-1253 and hsa_circ_0000190 to interact directly with one another, the EZ-Magna RIP™ RNA-Binding Protein Immunoprecipitation Kit (Millipore) kit was used based on provided instruction. Lysis buffer supplemented with RNase inhibitor (Millipore) was used for the initial preparation of cell lysates, which were subsequently incubated with Argonaute2 (Ago2; Millipore) or Immunoglobulin G (IgG; Millipore) antibody-coated magnetic beads. A qPCR approach was subsequently used to quantify RNA enrichment.

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.
