['To detect the target degradation of miR-141-3p on androgen receptor (AR) gene in LNCaP cells and demonstrate whether AR gene is a target of miR-141-3p.', "After prostate cancer cell line LNCaP was transfected with miR-141-3p mimics, expression levels of AR mRNA and protein in the LNCaP cells were detected by reverse transcription PCR and Western blotting, respectively. The 3'untranslated regions (3'UTR) of AR mRNA containing the binding site of miR-141-3p was amplified by PCR and inserted into pmiR-report vector (a 3'downstream luciferase reporter gene). The product was termed pmiR-AR-3'UTR. Double luciferase reporter system was employed to verify the potential target effect of miR-141-3p on pmiR-AR-3'UTR.", "Transfection of miR-141-3p mimics decreased both mRNA and protein expression levels of AR in LNCaP cells. Compared with control group, miR-141-3p transfection significantly inhibited the activity of luciferase of pmiR-AR-3'UTR."] Does [ miR-141-3p regulate the expression of androgen receptor by targeting its 3'UTR in prostate cancer LNCaP cells ]?
