LightSwitch™ miRNA Mimics and Inhibitors
背景资料：MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important post-transcriptional regulators that are thought to repress expression by targeting the 3´UTR of mRNA transcripts. The interaction of a miRNA with a 3´UTR results in either the degradation of the target transcript or inhibition of translation.
LightSwitch™ miRNA Mimics are transfected into cells to study the effects of over-expression of a miRNA of interest. In contrast, LightSwitch miRNA Inhibitors are used to knock down the expression of endogenous human miRNAs in living cells.
All LightSwitch miRNA products have been optimized for use with our collections of over 12,000 LightSwitch 3´UTR Reporter constructs and over 900 optimizedLightSwitch Synthetic miRNA Target Reporter constructs. The combination of LightSwitch miRNA Mimics and Inhibitors with our 3´UTR reporter clones provides a fully integrated system for validating the 3´UTR targets of your miRNAs of interest. In addition, we offer Custom miRNA Target Validation Services in which our scientists can validate the targets of your miRNAs of interest using our high-throughput, cell-based assay.
产品描述：IMPORTANT: Because all LightSwitch reporter constructs contain the optimized RenSP luciferase gene, you MUST use our LightSwitch Luciferase Assay Reagents to obtain optimal results. (Other luciferase assay reagents are not compatible with RenSP.)
产品应用：
Four LightSwitch 3´UTR Reporter GoClones containing validated targets of miR-155 and two negative control vectors (Random 3´UTR Control 1 and pLightSwitch_3UTR with No Insert) were co-transfected with 50 nM of miRNA mimic or a non-targeting control miRNA in K-562 cells. The knockdown of each vector was calculated as the log2 ratio of miR-155 signal divided by the non-targeting control signal. The four known 3´UTR targets of miR-155 show a strong knockdown compared to the two negative control vectors.
The data above demonstrates the knock-down in luciferase signal from LightSwitch 3´UTR Reporter GoClone constructs that contain validated targets of miR-155 when co-transfected with miR-155 Mimic relative to co-transfection with a non-targeting control miRNA.
There are approximately 1000 miRNAs in the human genome; they range in length from 21-25 nucleotides. miRNAs regulate gene expression by binding to the 3-prime Untranslated Region (3´UTR) of messenger RNA transcripts (mRNAs). This interaction can both affect the rate of transcript degradation as well as the efficiency of translation. Both mechanisms result in a reduction in the amount of protein produced from the mRNA.
LightSwitch miRNA Mimics can be used to study the over-expression of a miRNA in a particular cell line, whereas LightSwitch miRNA Inhibitors can be used to study the loss of function of a particular miRNA in a cell line where the miRNA is endogenously expressed.
产品使用：
LightSwitch miRNA Mimics are chemically optimized synthetic double-stranded RNAs that act as functional equivalents to endogenous human miRNAs. They can be transfected into cells to study the effects of over-expression of a miRNA of interest. They can also be co-transfected with LightSwitch 3´UTR Reporter GoClone constructs to validate the 3´UTR targets of your miRNAs of interest (Figure 1).
LightSwitch miRNA Inhibitors are chemically optimized synthetic single-stranded RNAs that are used to knock down the expression of endogenous human miRNAs in living cells. They can be transfected into cells to study the effects of the loss of function of a miRNA of interest and can also be co-transfected with 3´UTR Reporter GoClone constructs for 3´UTR target validation.
All LightSwitch miRNA products are based on miRNA sequences deposited in the miRBase database, and they have been optimized for use with our collection of over 12,000 LightSwitch 3´UTR Reporter constructs and our over 900 LightSwitch Synthetic miRNA Target Reporter constructs.
温度保存：
LightSwitch miRNA Mimics and Inhibitors are shipped as lyophilized pellets. The lyophilized miRNA products are stable at -20°C. After resuspension, the products can be stored at -80°C. For maximum stability, minimize the number of freeze-thaw cycles of the products in solution. All reagents are guaranteed stable for 6 months when stored properly.

关于5-hmC
5-hmC是近年来在动物组织中发现的，由胞嘧啶修饰而来。5-hmC在表观遗传学上的功能可能与5-甲基化胞嘧啶(5-mC)不同。尽管到现在为止还不确知其功能，有研究者猜测它在调控基因的表达与关闭过程中起着重要的作用。5-mC的发现让我们不得不重新评估DNA甲基信息，也不得不监测人类的健康组织和病理组织之间5-mC相对分布的差异。在EPI公司的MethylFlash技术之前，我们还没有发现任何直接的常规方法来检测5- hmC,以及区分5-hmC和5-mC
5-hmC 和 5-mC的区别
时下常用的DNA甲基化分析方法包括限制内切酶酶切和亚硫酸氢盐或MeDIP介导的MS-PCR和测序，这些技术都不适合用来检测5-hmC，因为它与5-mC事实上很难用这类方法区分开来。为了解决这个问题，EPIk研制了MethylFlash羟甲基化DNA定量试剂盒(荧光法)。本试剂盒提供了一种很经济的方法来检测5-羟甲基化胞嘧啶，并且区分5-hmC, 5-mC, 和 C，使得研究者能够重新评估他们的DNA甲基化信息，也能够在新样品中寻找DNA羟甲基化。 |
