Figure Lengend Snippet: MiR-4261 can target and regulate the ATP2B4 gene and reduce the expression of PMCA4 protein. (A) Schematic diagram of the predicted miR-4261 binding site in the 3’-UTR of ATP2B4 mRNA. (B) Dual-luciferase reporter assay. The 3’-UTR fragments (wild-type and mutant sequences) of ATP2B4 were cloned into the psiCHECK-2 vector and then cotransfected with miR-4261 mimics or NC. Comparison of relative firefly/Renilla luciferase activity between the wild-type (WT) and negative control (NC) groups ( P WT+mimics vs. WT+NC = 1.9E-4, and P WT+mimics vs. MUT+mimics = 1.4E-3). (C) The content of miR-4261 in HEK293T cells 36, 48, and 72 hours after transfection of miR-4261 mimics ( P = 2.7E-2) and the endogenous content of miR-4261 in H929 cells and RPMI8226 cells. (D) The mRNA level of ATP2B4 was reduced by miR-4261, and the relative expression decreased most significantly at 72 hours after transfection (GAPDH was used as an internal control) ( P = 3.6E-2). (E, F) MiR-4261 reduced the protein level of ATP2B4 (GAPDH was used as an internal control) ( P = 4.7E-2). (Error bars represent the mean ± SEM, *P < 0.05).
