miR-30c-2-3p functionally interacts with Nr3c2 (MR) and Elavl1 (HuR) 3′-UTR. The murine Nr3c2 (MR) and Elavl1 (HuR) 3′-UTR were cloned downstream of the pMIR-REPORT luciferase vector. (A,C) HEK 293T cells were transiently transfected, as described in Materials and Methods Section, with pMIR-luciferase plasmid (pMIR-Luc) fused to Nr3c2 (MR) or Elavl1 (HuR) 3′-UTR (40 ng/well of 96-well plates) and incubated with increasing concentrations (0.5, 1, 5 nM) of negative control Mimics (CTR Mimic) or 30c-2-3p Mimics. Luciferase activities were measured 24 h after transfection and normalized to β-galactosidase activities. (B,D) HEK 293T cells were transiently transfected with pMIR-Luc fused to Nr3c2 (MR) or Elavl1 (HuR) 3′-UTR (40 ng/well of 96-well plates) and 10 nM of control (CTR) or 30c-2-3p Mimics and with 10 nM of control (CTR) or 30c-2-3p Inhibitors. Luciferase activities were measured 24 h after transfection and normalized to β-galactosidase activities. Data are means ± SEMs (n = 8). NS = not significant, ** p <0.01, *** p <0.001, **** p <0.0001 compared to luciferase activity of pMIR-Luc fused to Nr3c2 (MR) or Elavl1 (HuR) 3′-UTR without Mimics (A,C) or with CTR Mimics or CTR Inhibitors (B,D), arbitrarily set at 100%.
