Features
- 650 human precursor miRNA expression clones are available which cover more than 95% of 678 known miRNAs in release 11.0 in miRBase
- The expression cassettes of all miRNA expression clones have been fully sequenced
- Lentiviral vector based expression constructs allow efficient infection based transduction of miRNAs into non-dividing and difficult to transfect target cells as well as transfection based transduction into conventional dividing cells
- Stable cell line selection marker (neomycin) enables studies of the effect of both long term and transient expression regulation
- Vector plasmid transfection and virus infection transduction efficiency are monitored by EGFP reporter protein.
MicroRNAs (or miRNAs) are small non-coding single-stranded RNA molecules that are transcribed from the genomes of eukaryotic organisms. They are highly conserved and usually 21~23 nucleotides in length. MiRNAs have been found to be involved in almost all cellular activities and functions. They regulate the expression of genes by binding to the 3’ untranslated regions (3’-UTRs) of targeted mRNAs. Irregularities in miRNA regulated gene expression have been found to be associated with cancers, cardiovascular disorders, and a variety of other diseases.
We are now offering: miExpress™ Precursor miRNA expression clones for 750 human, 450 mouse, and 270 rat genes and miTarget™ microRNA target sequence expression clones that cover 25,000 human and 20,000 mouse genes
Researchers can use these miRNA expression clones to study the expression regulation of corresponding genes/proteins. In combination with target sequence (3’-UTR) expression clones, which have luciferase as the reporter gene, researchers can also cross-validate. We also offer multiple sets of full length human and mouse expression ready ORF cDNA clones that can be used for gain-of-function studies of corresponding target genes.

We offer precursor miRNA expression clones constructed in a feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) based lentiviral vector system. A RNA polymerase III type promoter (H1) is used to drive transcription of hairpin precursor miRNAs (approximately 150 nucleotides), which are then processed to generate mature miRNAs by the enzymes involved in RNAi machinery. A tracking/reporter gene EGFP is co-expressed with the neomycin selection gene under the control of CMV promoter and bicistronic IRES element, which provides a convenient way for monitoring miRNA expression, transfection and transduction efficiency. Specific gene regulation is achieved as the result of binding of RISC-miRNA complexes with the 3’UTR of the mRNAs of target genes (Fig. 1): 1) expression translation suppression and 2) mRNA cleavage, degradation, and translation reduction.

- Gene expression regulation. The regulatory and functional effect of the miRNAs can be studied individually or systematically using the whole set or a subset of miRNA expression constructs by transduction of precursor miRNAs into target cells either via transfection or viral infection
- MiRNA target gene identification and validation. Together with GeneCopoeia’s miRNA target validation expression clones, miRNA expression constructs can be used to identify and verify their target genes
