Project description:Potential miR-202 targets were identified using a targetome-wide RIP-based microarray. HeLa cells were transfected with either a miR-202 mimic or a scrambled single-stranded RNA negative control. RNA was isolated from total cell lysate prior to IP and from antibody-immobilized Protein G agarose beads-RNP complexes (post-IP).
Project description:Potential miR-202 targets were identified using a targetome-wide RIP-based microarray. HeLa cells were transfected with either a miR-202 mimic or a scrambled single-stranded RNA negative control. RNA was isolated from total cell lysate prior to IP and from antibody-immobilized Protein G agarose beads-RNP complexes (post-IP). Ribonucleoprotein IP was performed using the RIP-Assay kit for microRNA (MBL) according to the protocol described by the manufacturer. Briefly, anti-EIF2C2/Ago2 monoclonal antibody (Novus Biologicals, LLC) was incubated with Protein G plus agarose beads (Pierce) at 4M-BM-0C overnight to prepare antibody-immobilized beads. 20 million cells were harvested and washed four times with ice-cold DEPC-treated PBS. The cell pellet was lysed with 500 M-NM-<l of lysis buffer and the supernatant was incubated with Protein G agarose beads without antibody to reduce nonspecific adsorption. The cell lysate was then transferred into a tube containing antibody-immobilized Protein G agarose beads and incubated for 3 hours at 4M-BM-0C. Genome-wide expression levels were analyzed in total RNA samples from total cell lysate and antibody-immobilized Protein G agarose beads-RNP complexes from cells transfected with miR-202 mimic or negative control using the Agilent 44K 60-mer human whole-genome microarray. Signal hybridization and scans were performed by MOGene, LC (St Louis, MO) (run in biological duplicate). The normalized signal intensities of probes from RNP-bead complexes (post-IP fraction) were divided by the signal intensities from total cell lysate (pre-IP fraction) in miR-202 mimic-transfected cells. Transcripts were identified as members of the global miRNA targetome if they exhibited an enrichment fold change > 2.0. From this list, post-IP to pre-IP signal intensity ratios in miR-202 mimic-transfected cells were divided by post-IP to pre-IP signal intensity ratios in NC cells. Transcripts exhibiting normalized signal ratios of > 1.5 were considered to be bound with miR-202 in the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), and therefore potential direct miR-202 targets.

Project description:Mouse peritoneal macrophages were transfected with 80-120 nM miRIDIAN miRNA mimics (miR-mimic-33/miR-mimic-33*) or with 80-120 nM miRIDIAN miRNA inhibitors (anti-miR-33 ASO/anti-miR-33*ASO) Control samples were treated with an equal concentration of a non-targeting control mimics sequence (control mimic) or inhibitor negative control sequence (control aso), to control for non-specific effects in miRNA experiments.
Project description:Total RNA samples from three biological replicates in which the hsa-mir-26b was overexpressed in HeLa cells were profiled by gene expression. As negative control, we used total RNA samples from HeLa cells transfected with cel-mir-67 Keywords: gene expression array-based (RNA / in situ oligonucleotide)
Project description:Total RNA samples from three biological replicates in which the hsa-mir-98 was overexpressed in HeLa cells were profiled by gene expression. As negative control, we used total RNA samples from HeLa cells transfected with cel-mir-67 Keywords: gene expression array-based (RNA / in situ oligonucleotide)
Project description:Experiment 2 - MiRNA mimics have a length and passenger strand specific effect Wildtype and mutant variants of miR-155 and negative control miRNA mimics were transfected to address the phenotype Cells were transfected with mimics and samples were collected in duplicate (except 23mer miR-155 wild type mimic and 23mer negative control mimic)
