IL6ST is a target gene of miR-223-3p. (A) Shows the IL6ST 3′UTR-containing reporter construct. Schematic representation of the miR-223-3p sequence, putative miR-223-3p targeting site in the 3′UTR of IL6ST, and the generated mutant IL6ST 3′UTR. (B) The western blot analysis shows that the cells transfected with miR-223 showed lower expression of IL6ST protein. (C) Luciferase reporter assay indicates the inhibitory effect that miR-223 has on the luciferase activity of IL6ST-3′UTR. (D) Correlation of the expression of IL6ST to that of miR-223-3p in KD samples using simple linear regression analysis. ***P < 0.001.
