Biotinylated miR-10b and its NC miRNA (both of which were biotin-labeled at the 3′ end) were purchased from GenePharma (Shanghai, China). hESC-CMs were transfected with NC miRNA and miR-10b using Lipofectamine RNAiMAX. Twenty-four hours after transfection, the cells were lysed with lysis buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl [pH 7.5], 100 mM KCl, 5 mM MgCl, 0.3% IGEPAL CA-630), and the lysate (approximately 500 μL) was mixed with prewashed streptavidin beads overnight at 4°C. The remaining lysate was stored at −80°C as an input. The next day, the mixture was washed with lysis buffer, and RNA was extracted with TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen). Then, quantitative real-time PCR was performed according to the standard protocol.

Hearts were dissected from E8.5–9.5 mouse embryos, washed in PBS without Ca2+, and digested using 0.04% Trypsin and 0.05% Collagenase IV. After incubation at 37 °C for 20 min (E8.5 embryonic hearts) or 30 min (E9.5 embryonic hearts), cells were gently pipetted and transferred to DMEM containing 10% fetal bovine serum for termination. Cells were plated on matrigel (1:60, BD) coated plates in the in vitro CMs culture medium (IVCC), with 4 ng/mL zbFGF. The in vitro CMs culture medium (IVCC) is composed of DMEM/F12 (Gibco) medium with 2% B27 (Gibco), 1% N2 (Gibco), 1% Glutamax (Gibco), 1% non-essential amino acids (NEAA; Gibco), 100 units/mL penicillin and 100 µg/mL streptomycin (Gibco). 50 µg/mL 2-phospho-l-ascorbic acid (Vitamin C, Sigma), 0.001% Progesterone (Sigma), 1% MEM Vitamin (Sigma, M6875), 0.1% trace element B (Corning), and 0.1% trace element C (Corning).
After 24 h culture, CMs were transfected with 50 nmol/L miRNA mimics (miRNA-1-3p, miR-541-5p and NC-miRNA (GenePharma) using Lipofectamine® 2000 (Thermo Fisher) following the manufacturer’s instructions. The same transfection protocol was used for SEVC4–10, mouse Yolk sac dissociated cells, human iPSC derived ECs and mESCs.

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.
