Target prediction and validation of miR-30a and Il-1a-3-UTR. (a) Targetscan software showed that miR-30a has a conserved binding site in the Il-1a-3′-UTR in many species including mice and human. (b) Luciferase reporter assay showing miR-30a mimics significantly inhibited the fluorescence values in the pRL-TK-Il-1a-3′-UTR-transfected 293T cells compared to negative controls, which was not the case in the mutated vector (pRL-TK-Il-1a-3′-UTR-mut)-transfected 293T cells. NC, negative controls of miRNA mimics; data are expressed as the Mean ± SD (n = 3); *P < 0.05 vs NC.
