VIP 3′UTR as a target of miRNA miR-205-5p. (a) Transfection with empty PsiCheck2 vector and PsiCheck2 vector-3′UTR inserts with T or C allele for the rs688136 respectively. Data are represented as the mean ± SEM. n = 10 each group. n.s: non-significant. (b) Bioinformatic prediction of hsa-miR-205-5p recognition elements on human VIP 3′UTR. Analyses performed with the TargetScanHuman algorithm. Letter U highlighted in bold corresponds to rs688136 position. Dotted box indicates pairing region. (c) Co-transfection with PsiCheck2 vector-3′UTR inserts with T or C allele and mimic miRNAs miR-205-5p and miR-39-3p (control). Data are represented as the mean ± SEM. n = 8 each group. RLU: relative luminescence unit. Statistical significance in panels a and c was established using Mann-Whitney test for a p-value < 0.05. Each experiment was made in duplicate.
