Figure Lengend Snippet: MiR-584-5p targets cancer, microtubule dynamics, and translation-associated genes. a Hierarchical clustering of gene expression changes in D425Med and D458Med cells treated with miR-NC or miR-584-5p mimic for 48 h. Data are z -transformed. The cutoff criteria for each gene are fold change > 2, sample intensity > 10, and p -value < 0.05. b Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) showing enriched biological processes in miR-584-5p mimic-treated MB cells. c qPCR analysis of eIF4E3 and HDAC1 expression in MB cells (D556Med, D425Med, D458Med, and DAOY) transfected with miR-NC or miR-584-5p mimic. The p -values were calculated using standard Student t -tests. Error bars represent mean ± SEM of three independent experiments (performed in triplicate for each experiment). d Western blot analysis of target genes in miR-NC or miR-584-5p mimic-transfected D556Med, D425Med, D458Med, and DAOY cells. Gel photographs are representative of at least three independent experiments. e Left, luciferase-eIF4E3/HDAC1 3′-UTR constructs. Inset boxes show miR-584-5p -binding sites in 3’-UTRs of eIF4E3 and HDAC1 (wild type). Also shown is miR-584-5p seed sequence mutated sequences. Right, relative luciferase activity in HEK293 cells transfected with miR-NC, miR-584-5p , or miR-584-5p -binding site mutant (mut). Values were normalized to firefly luciferase, which served as an internal control. The p -values were calculated using standard Student t -tests. Error bars represent mean ± SEM of three independent experiments. **** p < 0.0001; *** p < 0.001
Article Snippet: MiR-NC and miR-584-5p were used at 50 nM for all experiments unless otherwise indicated. eIF4E3 plasmid was purchased from Origene (#RC209694).
