Target protectors are transcribed and effective in vitro. (A) Schematic vector map of the 60 nt target protector in pcDNA3.1. (B) The 60 nt target protector and control target protector DNA were detected by Northern blot assays at the expected size. No target protector was detected in RNA extracted from empty vector-transfected cells. (C,D) The endogenous protein levels of Pten were decreased upon transfection of miR-19a but recovered upon cotransfection of miR-19a and the 60 nt target protector. Transfection of the 60 nt target protector alone also showed an increase in Pten. Data are presented as mean ± SD; n = 3 separate protein extractions; p values in relation to control (***p < 0.001).
