Article Snippet: Next, the proteins were transferred to PVDF membranes for 1 h. After protein transfer, the PVDF membranes were blocked in Tris-buffered saline with Tween-20 (TBST) containing 5% bovine serum albumin (BSA) for 90 min and then incubated with rabbit polyclonal MITF IgG (ImmunoWay Biotechnology Company, Newark, DE, USA), rabbit polyclonal TYR IgG (Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA) and rabbit polyclonal GAPDH (Cell Signaling Technology, USA) primary antibodies at 4 °C overnight before being washed 3 times with TBST for 15 min per wash. After being washed with TBST, the membrane were incubated with secondary antibodies for 55 min, after which the membranes were washed with TBST 3 times for 15 min each.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Identification of differentially expressed miRNAs after HU treatment that bind to MITF. After stimulation of B16 cells with HU (400 µM) for 24 h, MITF gene expression levels (A) and miRNA expression levels were altered (B). (C) Predictive maps of complementary targeting sites for miR-7013-3p and the MITF mRNA 3'UTR. (D) Luciferase activity after cotransfection with the MITF-3'UTR WT plasmid and miR-7013-3p mimic. The data summarize three independent experiments and are given as the mean±SD. * P <0.05.
