The effect of miR-196a-148a sensor as a monitor to detect the expression of miR-148a
To test the effect of miR-196a-148a sensor as a monitor to detect the expression of miR-148a, cells were transfected with pEGFP-miR-196a-148a sensor with different concentration of pHAGE-pre-miR-148a. We used the plasmid of pHAGE-pre-miR-148a to quantify miR-148a expression and calculate the copy numbers of miR-148a by using the formula listed below.
copies/ul= (6.02×1023)×(plasmids concentrations ng/ul×10-9)/(DNA length×660)

The standard curve of miR-196a-148a sensor was made by EXCEL (Fig 17). We find that the value of fluorescence is dependent on the copy numbers of miR-148a in cells. Based on the formula, the correlation coefficient (R2 value) of miR-196a-148a sensor was 0.9974.
