Screening for target mRNAs of let-7a
miRNA: | let-7a-1(duplex, 3' overhang) |
Cell: | HEK293T |
Antibodies: | Anti-EIF2C2(AGO2)(Human)mAb(Code No. RN003M) Mouse IgG2a(Code No. M076-3) |
Kit: | RIP-Assay Kit for microRNA(Code No. RN1005) |
Both let-7a expression levels and the AGO2-binding ratio of let-7a were increased upon transfection(Total RNA: FC(Fold change)=98, AGO2-RIP-RNA: FC=6). Detection of other let-7a family miRNAs was considered a cross-reaction with let-7a because of a common consensus seed sequence.
The data of AGO2-RIP-RNA showed that the AGO2-binding ratio of Gene X, Y and Z were significantly changed(FC ≥ 6). The binding status between AGO2 and mRNA was changed depending on expression level of let-7a-1.
Luciferase assay of Gene-X showed the repression of translation, which reflect on its binding status.
