| Gene Synthesis | … Cells were cultured in a standard humidified atmosphere (37 °C) containing 5% CO 2 . In some experiments, cells were transfected with pcDNA3.1-Neuropilin-1 plasmids (GenScript, Piscataway, NJ, USA). 2.2. Identification of miRNAs Targeting Neuropilin-1?… | Get A Quote |
Neuropilin-1 is a transmembrane glycoprotein that has been implicated in several processes including angiogenesis and immunity. Recent evidence has also shown that it is implied in the cellular internalization of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), which causes the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We hypothesized that specific microRNAs can target Neuropilin-1. By combining bioinformatic and functional approaches, we identified miR-24 as a regulator of Neuropilin-1 transcription. Since Neuropilin-1 has been shown to play a key role in the endothelium-mediated regulation of the blood-brain barrier, we validated miR-24 as a functional modulator of Neuropilin-1 in human brain microv...
