miR-182 directly targets SCN9A 3′UTR. (A) The binding site of miR-182 within SCN9A 3′-UTR. The seed sequence is stressed in bold. (B) Co-localization of miR-182 with Nav1.7 in rat L5 DRG. Scale bar: 100 μm. (C) miR-182 agomir dose-dependently decreased the relative activity in PC12 cells transfected with SCN9A3′-UTR. One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s Multiple Comparison Test. F3,8 = 86.367, **P < 0.01 vs. NC. n = 3 for each treatment. (D) The relative activity of luciferase in PC12 cells with wild type and mutant SCN9A 3′UTR after transfected with miR-182 agomir or scramble. n = 3 for each treatment. F4,10 = 37.508. **P < 0.01 vs. WT+ vehicle. (E) Levels of miR-182 in L4-6 DRGs at days shown after SNI or sham surgery in rats. F3,8 = 74.885 in SNI group, F3,8 = 0.123 in sham group. **P < 0.01 vs. the baseline. n = 6 for each treatment.
