RIP: miR-202 mimic-transfected HeLa cells vs. negative control
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Potential miR-202 targets were identified using a targetome-wide RIP-based microarray. HeLa cells were transfected with either a miR-202 mimic or a scrambled single-stranded RNA negative control. RNA was isolated from total cell lysate prior to IP and from antibody-immobilized Protein G agarose beads-RNP complexes (post-IP). Ribonucleoprotein IP was performed using the RIP-Assay kit for microRNA (MBL) according to the protocol described by the manufacturer. Briefly, anti-EIF2C2/Ago2 monoclonal antibody (Novus Biologicals, LLC) was incubated with Protein G plus agarose beads (Pierce) at 4M-BM-0C overnight to prepare antibody-immobilized beads. 20 million cells were harvested and washed four times with ice-cold DEPC-treated PBS. The cell pellet was lysed with 500 M-NM- 2.0. From this list, post-IP to pre-IP signal intensity ratios in miR-202 mimic-transfected cells were divided by post-IP to pre-IP signal intensity ratios in NC cells. Transcripts exhibiting normalized signal ratios of > 1.5 were considered to be bound with miR-202 in the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), and therefore potential direct miR-202 targets.
