Product Details

miRCURY LNA miRNA Mimics are designed to simulate naturally occurring mature miRNAs. Introducing an miRNA mimic into cells increases the proportion of RNA-induced silencing complexes (RISC) containing the guide strand miRNA, enabling assessment of the phenotypic consequences of increased activity and discovery of new miRNA functions. miRCURY LNA miRNA Mimics have an innovative design that includes two short, LNA-enhanced complimentary strands that prevent any miRNA-like activity associated with the passenger strands, so you can be sure that phenotypes observed using these mimics are due to increased activity of the mimicked miRNA.

Performance

Excellent potency
The miRNA strand of our mimics is made of unmodified RNA to provide as accurate miRNA mimicry as possible. The sequence and LNA spiking pattern of the two complementary passenger strands have been carefully designed to optimize efficient incorporation of the miRNA (guide) strand into RISC (see figure  Silencing of miRNA reporters using mimics for examples of the high potency of these LNA mimics).
No miRNA star-like activity from the passenger strand
miRCURY LNA miRNA Mimics have an innovative design, which includes two short LNA-enhanced complimentary strands that prevent any miRNA-like activity associated with the passenger strands (see figure  The distinct RNA triplex design ensures completely specific miRNA mimicry). This guarantees that phenotypes observed using these mimics are due to increased activity of the mimicked miRNA.
Fluorescently labeled miRNA mimics
Fluorescently labeled miRNA mimics can be useful to assess transfection efficiency. However, addition of fluorescent labels to the 5’ or 3’ end of the miRNA strand completely removes activity of miRNA mimics. In contrast, fluorophores at the 5’ end of the passenger strand are tolerated and have no adverse effects on the resulting mRNA activity (see figures  Fluorescently labeled miRNA mimics and  Biotinylated miRCURY LNA miRNA mimics). Because the fluorophore is attached to the passenger strand, the fluorescent signal does not report on the intracellular localization of the miRNA strand that is loaded into RISC and is only useful for monitoring transfection efficiency (see figure

Introduction of fluorophore at the 5' end of the passenger strand has no adverse effects on the miRNA acitivity of the mimic. HeLa cells harboring an hsa-miR-1-3p luciferase reporter plasmid were transfected with fluorescence-labeled and non-labeled hsa-miR-1-3p mimics and Cel-miR-39-3p negative mimic control. The results demonstrate that suppression of luciferase actity is achieved equally efficiently with fluorescence-labeled and non-labeled mimics.

Biotinylated miRNA mimics
Modification of the 5’ and 3’ ends of the miRNA strand in mimics is generally not well tolerated at all. However, we have observed that potent miRNA activity is achievable with biotinylated mimics, although they are significantly less potent than non-modified mimics, presumably due to less efficient loading into RISC. Nevertheless, the possibility that biotin modification of the guide strand creates a bias for incorporation of the passenger strand cannot be excluded. It is therefore important to use modified mimics that ensure that only the miRNA strand is chosen by RISC. The special triple RNA strand design of miRCURY LNA miRNA mimics ensures complete miRNA strand specificity, since the passenger strand is split into two LNA-modified RNA strands (see figures  The distinct RNA triplex design ensures completely specific miRNA mimicry and

HeLa cells were transfected with a plasmid harboring a Renilla luciferase gene (transfection efficiency control) and a firefly luciferase reporter gene with a sequence complementary to hsa-miR- 1-3p in the 3' UTR (pmiR-1). The next day, the cell cultures were transfected with different concentrations of hsa-miR-1-3p miRNA mimic or Cel-miR-39-3p negative control. Reporter gene expression was measured 24 H after transfection with a dual luciferase assay. Ratios of firefly and Renilla luciferase activity were calculated and normalized to values obtained with a firefly luciferase reporter with no miR target sequence (pLuc). The results illustrate that potent miRNA activity can be achieved with biotinylated mimics even if they are ~50x less active than unlabeled mimics.

Principle

miRCURY LNA miRNA Mimics have a unique and innovative design that includes three RNA strands, rather than the two RNA strands that characterize traditional miRNA mimics. The miRNA (guide) strand is an unmodified RNA strand with a sequence corresponding exactly to the annotation in miRBase. However, the passenger strand is divided into two LNA-enhanced RNA strands (see figure  A unique triple RNA strand design). When designed correctly, these triple RNA strand mimics are as potent as traditional double-strand RNA mimics. The great advantage is that the segmented nature of the passenger strand ensures that only the miRNA strand is loaded into the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) with no resulting miRNA activity from the two complementary passenger strands. Phenotypic changes observed with miRCURY LNA miRNA mimics can therefore be safely ascribed to the miRNA simulated by the mimic (see figure  miRNA target identification with biotinylated mimics).
The distinct triple RNA strand design is enabled by incorporation of high-affinity LNA nucleotides into the two passenger strands. The sequence, length and LNA spiking pattern of the two passenger strands have been optimized using a sophisticated and empirically derived design algorithm.
miRCURY LNA miRNA Mimics have been predesigned for a large majority of human, mouse and rat miRNAs listed in miRBase. Since many miRNAs are phylogenetically conserved, this set of miRNA mimics covers a large proportion of vertebrate and invertebrate miRNAs. >
