BMP2, miRNA, miR-378, Target geneAbstract
In this study, dual luciferase assay was emplyed to validate whether the BMP2 is a direct target gene of bovine miR-378. miR-378 mimics had extremely significant effects on the luciferase activity of wild BMP2 3’-UTR, but had no effect on the mutated BMP2 3’-UTR. Our result indicated BMP2 is a direct target gene of bovine miR-378.
