The dual-luciferase enzyme reporter assay was conducted as previously documented [17 (link)]. The wild-type (WT) docking site of miR-19a-3p on PHLDA3 and the matching mutant (Mut) were cloned into the pGL3-basic vector. The PHLDA3 WT or PHLDA3 Mut was co-transfected into 143B/U2OS cells with miR-19a-3p mimics or inhibitor or their corresponding control. After 48 h, Promega Dual-Luciferases Reporter Assay kit (Promega E1980) was performed to measure luciferase activities according to the manufacturer’s protocols.
