Rapid decay of engulfed extracellular miRNA by XRN1 exonuclease promotes transient epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Homo sapiens

To analyze the effect of miR-223-3p expression on the mRNA level we employed whole genome microarray expression profiling to identify genes with a potential seed region targeted by miR-223-3p. A549 cells were transfected for 48h with either a mirVana miRNA mimic Control or miR-223-3p. Overall design: Four independent experiments were performed for A549_miRCT. Three independent experiments were performed for A549_miR223.
