Demonstration of miRNA-mediated gene silencing in HEK-293 cells transfected with miRNA-C plasmid constructs, determined by luminescence assay measuring CYP1A2 enzyme activity. CYP1A2 activity (%)/(pmol) was measured in absence and presence of 5 µM α-naphthoflavone, a selective CYP1A2 inhibitor. CYP1A2 enzyme activity (pmol) was calculated with a calibration curve (Fig. S3) using recombinant CYP1A2 (mean ± standard deviation; n = 3; ***P < 0.001 versus no miRNA; ###P < 0.001 versus control).
