XR_311113.2 serves as a sponge for chi-miR-424-5p. (A) Alignment of potential chi-miR-135a, chi-miR-424-5p, chi-miR-544-5p, and chi-miR-3955-5p base pairing with XR_311113.2, as identified by the miRanda software. (B) The luciferase activity of miRNA binding sites mutant pmirGLO vector by luciferase assay in GK cells. Site-directed mutagenesis in the chi-miR-135a, chi-miR-424-5p, chi-miR-544-5p, and chi-miR-3955-5p binding site of the XR_311113.2. The pmirGLO-1 and pmirGLO-2 were wild vector of XR_311113.2. (C) Luciferase reporter assay to determine the luciferase activity of pmirGLO-2 in GK cells transfected with chi-miR-424-5p and chi-miR-3955-5p mimics, to identify miRNAs that bound to the XR_311113.2 sequence. **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001; NS, not significant.
