Fig 1. Bag-1 is a direct target of miR-138.

Fig 1

(A) A schematic representation showing the putative target site of Bag-1 and mutated target site for miR-138 with the seed region and base substitutions underlined. (B and C) Luciferase reporter assay in HEK293T cells with co-transfection of Bag-1-UTR-WT or Bag-1-UTR-MUT at indicated times. (D and E) The mRNA and protein expression levels of Bag-1 in OCUG-1 and NOZ cells transfected with miR-138 mimic or the control. β-Actin was used as an internal quantitative control. Error bars represent the SD from three independent trials. **P<0.01.
