miR-663a Regulates JunD Expression via 3'-UTR Binding

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A pmiR-RB-REPORT™ vector (Ribobio Co., Guangzhou, China) was used for 3′ UTR-luciferase reporter assays to detect interactions of miR-663a with JunD (Gene ID: 3727). The TargetScan Human database 6.2 http://targetscan.org/was used to identify miRNA binding sites. The Wild-type miR-663a target site in JunD 3′-untranslated region was CCCCGCC. The mutant miR-663a target site was CGGGCGC. The miR-663a mimic, miR-663a inhibitor and their corresponding negative controls (Ribobio Co. Guangzhou, China) were transfected with pmiR-RB-REPORT™-target gene UTR. Reporter assays were conducted in triplicate. The cells were co-transfected with 100 nM mimic and 100 ng/mL reporter plasmid by attractene agent (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) according to the manufacturer’s instructions

Pancreatic Cancer Cell Line Characterization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The human pancreatic cancer cell lines AsPC-1, BxPC-3, PANC-1, PaCa-2, and SW1990, and the human pancreatic ductal epithelial cell line HPDE6-C7 were from ATCC (Rockville, MD, United States). The cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 or DMEM (Gibco, Waltham, MA, United States) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). Overexpression plasmid containing C9orf139 (sh-C9orf139), plasmids for knockdown (si-C9orf139-#1, si-C9orf139-#2, and si-C9orf139-#3), and Sox12 expression plasmid (pcDNA3.1-Sox12) were constructed by Shanghai GenePharma Co., Ltd. Sox12 shRNA, Sox12 siRNA, control siRNA, miR-663a mimic, miR-NC, miR-663a inhibitor, and control inhibitor were obtained from RiboBio (Guangzhou, China). Cell transfection was performed using Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, United States) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Identifying miR-663a Regulation of PLA2G6

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
MiR-663a-mimic, miR-663a-inhibitor and the corresponding negative control were synthesized by RiboBio. The double-stranded siRNA and siNC were synthesized and high performance purified (GenePharma). The targeted and negative control siRNA for PLA2G6 mRNA were as follows: PLA2G6: 5′-GCCUAAACAACCUAGAACUTT-3′ (sense); Control: 5′-UUCUCCGAACGUGUCACGUTT-3′ (sense). The wild type (WT) and mutated (MUT) 3′-UTR sequences of PLA2G6 were purchased from Tsingke (Nanjing, China), which were predicted to interact with miR-663a, were cloned into a firefly luciferase-expressing pmiR-GLO vector (Tsingke) to acquire the PLA2G6 3′-UTR reporter constructs (pmiR-PLA2G6-WT and pmiR-PLA2G6-MUT).

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.
