RNA-seq of miR-CLIP double purified, miR-124/miR-132 miR-CLIP probe treated HEK293T cells and corresponding mock treated and intermediate samples
Targetome of miR-124/miR-132 was enriched in HEK293T cells, a cell line which lacks the expression of these miRNA. The targetome was captured using miR-CLIP, a transfection-based double-purification crosslinking and immunoprecipitation (CLIP) method. Therefore HEK293T cells were transfected with miR-124/miR-132 miR-CLIP probes, which are trioxsalen, biotin bis-modified pre-miRNAs. Unspecific RNA-protein and trioxsalen mediated RNA-RNA crosslinking were induced by UV-irradiation before cell lysis. Total RNA (input samples) was enriched for AGO2-bound RNA using AGO2 immunoprecipitation, by depleting non-RISC associated RNAs. A second enrichment for specific targets of the transfected miRNA is performed using magnetic streptavidin-beads. This step relies on the interaction of the biotinylated probe, on which the RNA target is crosslinked, with the beads. The method was shown to deliver high-quality miRNA targetomes of both 5p and 3p miRNAs.
