MiR-184 target gene and verification. MiR-184 target gene was predicted using starBase v.2.0 miRNA database (starBase.sysu.edu.cn/), and was verified using dual-luciferase reporter assays. Transduction of SH-SY5Y cells with hsa-PPAP2B interference lentivirus (PPAP2B Inf V) or empty vector and attack with oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R). Apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry to evaluate the effect of the miR-184 target gene on neuronal apoptosis. (A) MiR-184 target is phosphatidic acid phosphatase genes type 2B (PPAP2B) mRNA, which can base-pair with miR-184 at its 3’-untranslated region sequences. (B) Luciferase activity. (C) Flow cytometry results of cell apoptosis. (D) Percent of cell apoptosis. Experiments were repeated in triplicate. Values are mean ± SD. *p < 0.05 vs. the control or vehicle.
