miR-129-3p directly regulates MCU expression in glucose fluctuation-exposed hippocampal neuronal neuronal cells. Rat primary hippocampal neuronal cells were exposed to normal glucose (control, CT), low glucose (LG), high glucose (HG) and glucose fluctuation (GV) conditions. (A and B) Protein levels of MCU. (C) mRNA levels of miR-129-3p. (D) Predicted mi R-129-3p target sequence in the MCU-3 ‘ UTR. Target sequences of MCU-3 ‘UTR were mutated. (E) Luciferase assay of cells transfected with MCU-WT or MCU-MUT reporter together with miR-129-3p mimic or miR-NC. (F) mRNA levels of MCU in cells transfected with miR-129-3p inhibitor or mimics and miR-NC. Data are presented as the means ± SD; ** p< 0.01; (n = 5).
