ABSTRACT:
TIG3 TERT/ deltaB-RAF:ER cells are primary human diploid fibroblasts immortalized by hTERT. deltaB-RAF is constitutively active due to truncation of the regulatory N-terminal domain and fused to the hormone-binding domain of the oestrogen receptor, which was modified to respond to 4-hydroxytamoxifen (4-OHT) but not beta-estradiol.
TIG3 TERT/ deltaB-RAF:ER cells were treated with 500nM 4-OHT or equal amounts of ethanol the day after seeding at 1E6 per 10cm plate, in three biological replicates. After 2 days of 4-OHT treatment, cells were transfected with LNA-miR-34a or a control LNA-scramble using Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen). Total RNA was harvested 24 h post-transfection (3 days of 4-OHT treatment in total) using TRIzol reagent. Affymetrix microarray analysis (HG-U133 Plus 2.0 human) was performed.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), bound to Argonaute proteins (RISC), destabilize mRNAs through base-pairing with the mRNA. However, the gene expression changes after perturbations of these small RNAs are only partially explained by predicted miRNA/siRNA targeting. Targeting may be modulated by other mRNA sequence elements such as binding sites for the hundreds of RNA binding proteins (RNA-BPs) expressed in any cell, and this aspect has not been systematically explored.
