In Vitro
Lin28-let-7a antagonist 1 (compound 1) shows a clear antagonistic effect against the Lin28A-let-7a-1 interaction with an IC 50 of 4.03 μM. Interestingly, Lin28-let-7a antagonist 1 also inhibits the Lin28B-let-7 interaction, with slightly reduced potency. Dicer processing assay reveals that Lin28-let-7a antagonist 1 clearly blocks the formation of the Lin28A-pre-let-7g complex and induces miRNA processing, resulting in the generation of mature let-7g miRNA. When the expression of both Lin28A and Lin28B are knocked-down using siRNA in JAR cells, the Lin28-let-7a antagonist 1-induced increase in cellular let-7 levels is clearly attenuated. Lin28A-let-7a-IN-1 increases mature let-7 levels in PA-1 cells that express high level of Lin28A. On the other hand, let-7 levels are not affected by 1 in MCF7 cells that rarely express Lin28 proteins. Taken together, Lin28-let-7a antagonist 1 specifically induces the increase in the cellular let-7 levels by targeting Lin28. MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
