Validation of miRNA binding on the 3′UTR sequences of their potential target mRNAs by luciferase reporter assay. (a) hsa-miR-548ba potential target genes. (b) hsa-miR-7973 potential target genes. Results are shown as average normalized luciferase signal ± SEM, (*p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; Student one-tailed t-test, n = 3). RLU – relative light unit.
