Article Title: The Role of MiR-5094 as a Proliferation Suppressor during Cellular Radiation Response via Downregulating STAT5b
doi: 10.7150/jca.39679
Figure Lengend Snippet: MiR-5094 directly targets STAT5b. (A) Alignment of wild-type seed sequence of the 3'-UTR of STAT5b mRNA (WT STAT5b 3'-UTR) and a mutated seed sequence of the miR-5094-binding site (Mut STAT5b 3'-UTR). The seed region is shown in bold. (B) Luciferase reporter assays. Luciferase reporter containing wild-type or mutant STAT5b 3'UTR was co-transfected with exogenous miR-5094 mimics (miR-5094) or negative mock control (NC) into HeLa cells. Luciferase activity was measured 24 h after transfection. Renilla luciferase activity was used to normalize the firefly luciferase activity. (C) MiR-5094 suppresses STAT5b mRNA expression in different cells at 24 h after transfection. The relative expression levels were normalized to same cells transient transfected with NC at same time point. (D) MiR-5094 suppresses STAT5b protein expression in different cells at 24 h after transfection. Mcs: miR-5094 mimics; inhibitor: miR-5094 inhibitor; si-1, si-2 and si-3: STAT5b siRNA. *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01 represent the comparison with NC.
Article Snippet: For HeLa and Beas-2B cells, 2×10 5 cells were seeded in 35mm dishes and cultured for 24 h prior to be transfected with small RNAs including miR-5094 mimics (GeneCopoeia, HmiR1458, China), negative control (GeneCopoeia, CmiR0001-MR04), miR-5094 inhibitor (GeneCopoeia, HmiR-AN2605), and the inhibitor negative control (GeneCopoeia, CmiR-AN0001-AM01) or STAT5b siRNA (RioNeer, 1145682, 1145685, 1145687, CA, USA) and its negative control (BioNeer, Daejeon, Korea) at 40-60% confluence using Lipofectamine TM 2000 (Invitrogen, 11668-019, USA).
