MiR-599 Protects Cardiomyocytes against Oxidative Stress-Induced Pyroptosis

Figure 4

Identification of ASC as a direct target of miR-599. (a) Sequence complementarity between miR-599 and ASC. The letters in green indicate matched bases. (b) Luciferase reporter constructs containing 3UTR sequence of PYCARD. Luciferase activities with wild-type (WT) constructed plasmid (c) or mutant (MUT) 3UTR sequences of PYCARD (d). Data are expressed as of three independent experiments. vs. miR-599. Negative control (NC); NC is the negative control of miRNA-599, and NC inhibitor is the negative control of miRNA-599 inhibitor.
