History miRNAs regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. examining LC3II formation using Western blot and confocal imaging. Results Both miR-106a and miR-106b mimics inhibited starvation-induced autophagy. miR-106b mimic reduced ATG16L1 protein expression. Luciferase reporter assays showed that mutating the binding sequence at the position 1036-1042 abrogated miR-106b regulation of ATG16L1 3’UTR luciferase activity. In… Continue reading History miRNAs regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. examining LC3II
