Figure 4. CYB561 mRNA: Effects of miR-1294.
4A. Micro-RNA effects in HEK-293T cells: hsa-miR-1294 mimicry on human CYB561 mRNA expression with its cognate 3’-UTR. The full-length human CYB561 mRNA, with its cognate 3’-UTR, was expressed under control of a eukaryotic pCMV promoter in HEK-293T cells, with or without co-transfection of a miR-1294 mimic. CYB561 mRNA abundance was quantified by qRT-PCR, and normalized to GAPDH mRNA.
4B. Micro-RNA effects in PC12 chromaffin cells: hsa-miR-1294 mimicry on human CYB561 mRNA expression with its cognate 3’-UTR. The experimental protocol proceeds as in Figure 4A.
4C. Endogenous RNAs in model neuronal/neuroendocrine cells: CYB561 mRNA and miR-1294 small RNA. RNAs were quantified by qRT-PCR, normalizing mRNA results to 18S rRNA and miR results to small RNA SNORD61. The lower limit of detection (LLD) is ~10 molecules per qRT-PCR reaction.
