Abstract: objective To identify SEPT7as one of the target genes of miR-19a and miR-19b.MethodsmiR-19a inhibitor and miR-19b inhibitor mediated by lipofectamine2000,were transfected to SNB19 glioma cells for knocking down miR-19a/19b overexpression.Real time PCR was conducted to detect the expression of miR-19a/miR-19b in transfected cells.The expression of SEPT7was determined by Western blot analysis.RT-PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression of SEPT7; and Luciferase reporter assay was used to identify the direct regulation of miR-19a/19b on SEPT7.ResultsIn SNB19 glioma cells transfected with miR-19a/19b inhibitor,the expression of miR-19a/miR-19b was significantly reduced,whereas the protein expression of SEPT7 was upreguhtted; no significant change of SEPT7 mRNA level was found and luciferase activity became stronger as compared to control cells.ConclusionSEPT7 is the target negatively regulated by miR-19a and miR-19b.
