The wild type or mutant 3′-UTR of Cab39 was cloned into the pGL3 plasmid (Promega; Madison, WI, USA) containing a luciferase report gene, which was then cotransfected with the miR-31-5p agomir or AgNC using the Lipofectamine 6000 Reagent (Beyotime; Shanghai, China). The cells were cultured for 48 h and then collected to detect the firefly and Renilla luciferase activities by a Dual-Luciferase Reporter Assay System (Promega; Madison, WI, USA) [31 (link)–33 (link)].
