Smad 7 is a target gene of miR-410-5p. (a) Complementarity between the 3′UTR of Smad 7 gene and miR-410-5p. For constructing of Smad 7-3′UTR (Mut) reporter, the putative miR-410-5p binding site was replaced with the sequence as shown below (Mut). Mutated seeds were marked in red, Watson-Crick base pairing with a straight line and U-G wobbles with a dotted line. (b) The putative target sites of Smad 7 3′-UTR, which are marked in red, are conserved in mammals. (c) Luciferase analysis of a reporter vector harboring the 3′-UTR of Smad 7 (WT and Mut) in H9c2 cells transfected with negative control (NC) or miR-410-5p for 36 h. These results are means ± SD of three experiments. **P < 0.01 relative to NC. (d) Western blot analysis in H9c2 cells transfected with NC or miR-410-5p for 36 h. Representative Western blots are shown. (e) Quantification of the ratio of proteins to β-actin. These results are the means ± SD of four experiments. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01 relative to NC.
