MiR-378 directly targets RBX1. (A) Diagram illustrating overlapping gene targets predicted by two online algorithms (DIANA-microT-CDS and TargetScan) for miR-378. (B) Schematic representation of the putative miR-378 target site in 3'-UTR of RBX1 mRNA. (C) Luciferase assay results from A549-I7 cells co-transfected with the RBX1 WT 3'-UTR or RBX1 MT 3'-UTR reporter plasmids and either miR-378 mimics/ inhibitors or scrambled mimics/ inhibitors. Firefly luciferase activity was normalized to Renilla luciferase activity (Firefly/ Renilla). (D) Overexpression of miR-378 down-regulated the expression of RBX1, in both A549 and SK-LU-1 cells. The expression was normalized to GAPDH.
