Gene expression analysis of THP-1 cells (monocytic cell line) transfected with microRNA mimics: let-7d-5p, miR-27b-3p, miR-151a-5p.

In our previous study, hsa-let-7d-5p,hsa-miR-27b-3p,hsa-miR-151-5p were significantly upregulated in the plasma of atopic patients. To study the each function of hsa-let-7d-5p,hsa-miR-27b-3p,hsa-miR-151-5p, 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-7a-5p, miR-27b-3p, miR-151a-5p mimics or negative controls, respectively, and RNA was extracted. This RNA was then used for hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.
