The identification of PDXK as the target gene of miR-124 using a luciferase reporter gene assay. (a) The identification of PDXK as the target gene of miR-124 using the online software Targetscan 7.1. (b) A comparison of the luciferase activity among cells transfected with PDXK-WT/PDXK-MUT+NC oligonucleotide or PDXK-WT/PDXK-MUT+miR-124 mimics. miR-124, microRNA-124; MUT, mutant type; NC, negative control; WT, wild type. *P<0.05 compared with cells transfected with PDXK-WT+NC oligonucleotide.
