miR-23a targets KEAP1 mRNA. A) Jurkat cells were transfected with the whole miR-23a–27a–24-2 locus or with the constructs miR-23 ∆ 24–27 and miR-23 ∆ 23. The expression of KEAP1 mRNA was analyzed by qPCR and represented as the % of mRNA compared to cells transfected with the control vector. B) Expression of KEAP1 protein and the quantification. C) Jurkat cells were transfected with the different constructs together with a reporter plasmid containing the 3′UTR of KEAP1 mRNA downstream of the luciferase mRNA. Data are represented as the % of luciferase expression in cells transfected with the empty vector. D) The expression of NQO-1 mRNA was analyzed by qPCR in cells transfected as in (A). The data represent means ± SD; *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 Student's t-test compared to empty vector transfected cells or as depicted in the graphic.
