Problems solved by technology

Studies have shown that PPAR-γ may inhibit the expression of scavenger receptor SR-A (scavenger receptor A) by inhibiting the activity of transcription factor activation protein-1 (AP-1), leading to the uptake of lipids by macrophages. Decreased protein capacity

Embodiment 1

[0113] Example 1, miR-96, miR-185 and miR-223 regulate SR-BI, an important target of cholesterol reverse transport.

[0114] 1.1. Effect of Dicer and Drosha gene silencing on SR-BI mRNA level

[0115] After knocking out two key enzymes Dicer and Drosha in the process of microRNA biosynthesis by siRNA gene silencing technology, the Real-time RT-PCR method was used to detect the level of SR-BI mRNA.

[0116] The experimental results showed that after Dicer or Drosha gene silencing, the level of SR-BI mRNA was significantly up-regulated, indicating that microRNA is involved in the regulation of SR-BI (such as figure 1shown).

[0117] 1.2. Regulatory effects of miR-96, miR-185, miR-223 and their antagonists on SR-BI mRNA and protein expression levels.

[0118] The miRNA antagonist (anti-miR) of the present invention is purchased from QIAGEN, and its sequence and article number are respectively:

[0119] anti-miR-96 (Cat.no.MIN0000095)

[0120] 5'-agcaaaaaugugcuagugccaaa-3' (...

Embodiment 2

[0140] Example 2, the regulation of miR-96 and miR-223 on ABCA1, an important target of cholesterol reverse transport.

[0141] 2.1. Target prediction and homology analysis of miR-96, miR-223 and ABCA13'UTR.

[0142] MicroRNA.org and TargetScan predicted the interaction sites of miR-96 and miR-223 with ABCA13'UTR. The predicted target sequences of miR-96 and miR-223 of ABCA13'UTR of multiple species were compared using Clustal X2 software.

[0143] Forecast results such as Figure 8 As shown, there is one predicted target of miR-96 and one of miR-223 on ABCA13'UTR. The sequence alignment results are as Figure 9 As shown, the predicted targets of miR-96 and miR-223 present on ABCA13'UTR showed sequence conservation in multiple species (Hsa human; Ptr chimpanzee; Pab Sumatran chimpanzee; Ame giant panda; Mmu mouse).

[0144] 2.2 Regulatory effects of miR-96, miR-223 and their antagonists on ABCA1 mRNA levels

Embodiment 3

[0147] Example 3, regulation of LDLR by miR-185 and its antagonists.

[0148] 3.1. Prediction and homology analysis of direct action targets of miR-185 and LDLR3'UTR.

[0149] MicroRNA.org and TargetScan predicted the interaction sites of miR-185 and LDLR3'UTR. Clustal X2 software was used to compare the miR-185 predicted target sequences of LDLR3'UTR in multiple species.

[0150] Forecast results such as Figure 11 As shown, there are two predicted targets of miR-185 on LDLR3'UTR. The sequence alignment results are as Figure 12 As shown, the predicted target of miR-185 present on LDLR3'UTR exhibits sequence conservation in multiple species (Hsa human; Ptr chimpanzee; Pab Sumatran chimpanzee; Bta cattle).

[0151] 3.2. Regulation of LDLR mRNA levels by miR-185 and its antagonists

[0152]Lipofectamine RNAiMAX Transfection Reagent was used to transiently transfect miR-185 or its antisense oligonucleotide inhibitor into liver cancer cell HepG2 cells, and after 72 hours o...
