The binding sites of miR-124-3p and ANGPTL2 were predicted using the StarBase database (https://starbase.sysu.edu.cn/). Subsequently, the complementary binding sequences and mutated sequences of miR-124-3p and ANGPTL2 were amplified and cloned into the pmiRGLO dual-luciferase reporter gene vector (Promega, Madison, WI, USA) to construct wild-type plasmid pmiRGLO-ANGPTL2-WT and the corresponding mutant plasmid pmiRGLO-ANGPTL2-MUT. In accordance with the instructions of LipofectamineTM 2000 (Invitrogen), the plasmid was cotransfected with mimic NC or miR-124-3p mimic (sequence: 5′-UAAGGCACGCGGUGAAUGCCCA-3′, purchased from GenePharma, Shanghai, China) into ovarian granulosa cells KGN (Sunncell, Wuhan, Hubei, China).

Investigating miR-124-3p Targeting of IRE1α

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A luciferase reporter analysis was conducted to investigate whether miR-124-3p directly targets IRE1α mRNA in order to detect miR-124-3p targets related to ER stress. IRE1α luciferase reporter plasmids were constructed by inserting the IRE1α 3′-untranslated region (3′UTR), including all predicted miR-124-3p binding sites, into the pGL3 luciferase reporter vector. In short, the IRE1α fragment was PCR-amplified from mouse genomic DNA and ligated into the pGL3 control vector downstream of the SV40 promoter using the XbaI sites (Promega, Madison, WI, USA). To construct a mutant (MUT) version of the plasmid, the miR-124-3p binding site was removed.
As we reported previously (Li et al., 2019), HT22 neuronal cells were seeded in 96-well plates. Employing Lipofectamine 2000, the miR-124-3p mimic or random oligonucleotides (Gene Pharma) were cotransfected into neurons with the wild-type or mutant pGL3-IRE1α-3′UTR. Following incubation for 2 days, the cells were harvested, and luciferase activity was detected using a Dual-Luciferase Reporter Assay System (Promega).

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.
