miR-132-3p targets pik3r1. (A) 3′UTR of pik3r1 cloning strategy. Fragments from 71 to 362 bp and from 2957 to 3162 bp containing the two binding sites predicted for miR-132-3p were cloned into the psiCheck2 vector. (B) miR-132-3p levels in HEK cells after transfection. Levels were normalized to RNU1A1 and RNU5G. (C) HEK cells were transfected with indicated plasmids (Control empty vector or miR-132 expressing vector), GFP+ cells sorted and Renilla and Firefly luciferase signal measured. Data are presented in Renilla Luciferase signal relative to Firefly (n = 5). T-test **P < 0.05. (D) miR-132-3p expression in Jurkat cells 48 h post transfection with either negative Control-Dy547 or mmu-miR-132-3p miRNA Mimics. (E) Western blot analysis of p85α, p55α and p50α isoforms in Jurkat cells after 48 h of transfection with the control or miR-132-3p mimics as in (D). A representative blot of one experiment out of five is shown; protein bands were cropped from the same gel. (F) Protein relative levels of p85α, p55α and p50α as in (E) after normalization to p150 (n = 5) T-test **P < 0.05; *P < 0.01.
