MIB1 is targeted by miR-198. (A) RT-qPCR results revealed lower MIB1 abundance in LNCaP and DU145 cells transfected with miR-198 mimic, relative to control mimic samples and normalized to GAPDH. (B) MIB1 protein in LNCaP and DU145 cells is reduced after miR-198 transfection compared with control mimic; representative blots are presented. β-actin was used as an endogenous control. (C) Predicted binding site of miR-198 within wild-type MIB1 3′UTR and mutated sequence used in luciferase assay. Location of miR-198 seed sequence denoted by blue text (AGACCUG), and sequence pairing represents complementarity predicted to influence binding efficacy. (D) Luciferase activity of MIB1 3′UTR wild-type reporter is reduced with miR-198 mimic while the mutant remains unchanged. Graph displaying a single representative experiment. The mean ± SEM and statistical significance are denoted (*P<0.05, ***P<0.001). MIB1, mindbomb E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 1.
