MIR96-IN-1 targets the Drosha site in the miR-96 (miRNA-96, microRNA-96) hairpin precursor, inhibiting its biogenesis, derepressing downstream targets, and triggering apoptosis in breast cancer cells. MIR96-IN-1 binds to RNAs with K d s of 1.3, 9.4, 3.4, 1.3 and 7.4 μM for RNA1, RNA2, RNA3, RNA4 and RNA5, respectively.
In Vitro
MIR96-IN-1 (Compound 1) selectively inhibits production of mature miR-96 and triggers apoptosis in breast cancer cells at micromolar concentrations. MIR96-IN-1 (Compound 3) binds a UU loop in miR-96 and inhibits its biogenesis. MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
