Functional validation of miR-27a/b-3p effects on PPARG, SCAMP3 and ABCA1 in human adipocytes. (a) miR-27a-3p and miR-27b-3p were overexpressed in in vitro differentiated in hASCs and their expression was assessed by RT-qPCR. Results are based on three biological/independent experiments. Expression of genes was normalized to the reference gene SNORD68. (b) miR-27a-3p and miR-27b-3p were overexpressed in in vitro differentiated in hASCs and expression of PPARG, SCAMP3 and ABCA1 was assessed by RT-qPCR. Results are based on three biological/independent experiments. Expression of genes was normalized to the reference gene LRP10. (c,d) miR-27a-3p and miR-27b-3p were overexpressed in in vitro differentiated in hASCs, cells were lyzed to collect the total protein and thereafter proteins were analyzed by Western blot. Results are based on four biological/independent experiments. Expression of SCAMP3 was normalized to the total protein amount. (e) Mimics of miR-27a-3p and miR-27b-3p were transfected together with 3′UTR reporter constructs for SCAMP3, ABCA1 or empty reporter vector in 3T3-L1 cells and changes of luciferase activity was measured in cell lysates. Results are based on two or three biological/independent experiments. Results were analyzed using t-test and presented in fold change ± SD relative to negative control (Neg C). ***P < 0.005, *P < 0.05.
