Abstract:Objective Applying Hybrid-PCR method to screen target genes of miR-134 in ovarian cancer chemoresistant cells and to provide a theoretical basis on the formation of ovarian cancer chemoresistance.Methods RNA extraction, primer design, Hybrid- PCR was carried out to screen putative targets of miR-134 in SKOV3-TR30 cells,Dual Luciferase Reporter Assay System was used to evaluate the binding of miR-134 with 3’UTR of candicate targets predicated by Hybrid-PCR.Results By applying Hybrid -PCR we find in SKOV3-TR30 cells target mRNA of miR-134:C16orf72, PNAS-105,spermidine synthase, VIM2,F-box protein 2,GAPDH,PRPF6 and RPL41. We successfully constructed 3'-UTR plasmids of the 8 putative targets of miR-134 in SKOV3-TR30 cells.By co-transfecting mRNA 3'UTR PMIR-REPORT and Psilencer-miR-134 to HEK293 cell respectively, we demonstrated that miR-134 directly binds to 3'UTR of these 5 mRNAs.Conclusion Hybrid-PCR is an effective and rapid approach for screening putative miRNA targets and could be applied to find target mRNA of miRNA in SKOV3-TR30 cells. C16orf72, PNAS-105,spermidine synthase, VIM2,F-box protein 2,GAPDH,PRPF6 and RPL41 could be target mRNA of miR-134 in SKOV3-TR30 cell and miR-134 could take part in chemoresistance formation of SKOV3-TR30 cells via these targets.
