Gene expression analysis of THP-1 cells (monocytic cell line) transfected with microRNA mimics: let-7d-3p, let-7e-5p,miR-146a-5p,miR-130a-3p, miR-151a-3p.

In our previous study, hsa-let-7d-3p, hsa-let-7e-5p,hsa-miR-146a-5p,hsa-miR-130a-3p, hsa-miR-151a-3p,were significantly upregulated in the plasma of atopic patients. To study the each function of let-7d-3p, let-7e-5p,miR-146a-5p,miR-130a-3p, miR-151a-3p which are significantly upregulated in the plasma of atopic patients, we performed mimic-transfected THP-1 cells, a mononuclear cell line, and performed comprehensive genetic analysis. THP-1 cells were transfected with let-7d-3p, let-7e-5p,miR-146a-5p,miR-130a-3p, miR-151a-3p mimics or negative controls, respectively, and RNA was extracted. This RNA was then used for hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.
