Predicted SOX2-OT or PTEN sequences containing miR-455-3p binding sites were inserted into the pmirGLO (Promega, WI, USA) and amplified by PCR to construct recombinants (Wild-type SOX2-OT 3ʹUTR (SOX2OT-WT)/SOX2-OT 3ʹUTR Mutant (SOX2OT-MUT) and Wild-type PTEN 3ʹUTR (PTEN-WT)/PTEN 3ʹUTR Mutant (PTEN-MUT)). Co-transfection was conducted with the LipofectamineTM 3000 reagent (Invitrogen) for 48 h. Luciferase activity was recognized using a luciferase activity assay kit (Promega, WI, USA), and the mean luciferase activity of cells was normalized to renilla luciferase activity [11–13 (link)].
