The invention relates to assays for assessing miRNA maturation effector (preferably: inhibitor) efficacy, and to substances useful for influencing, particularly for inhibiting, maturation of miRNA. According to the invention there is provided assay of miRNA processing inhibitor efficacy, comprising the steps of: a) providing a target miRNA precursor, b) providing a potential inhibitor of one or more processing steps of the target miRNA precursor, c) bringing together of the target miRNA precursor and the potential inhibitor under miRNA maturation conditions, and d) determining inhibition efficiency. The assay of the present invention allows for a very fast and easy assessment of the efficacy of a potential inhibitor in inhibiting processing of a miRNA precursor into miRNA.
该发明涉及用于评估miRNA成熟效应子(优选:
抑制剂)效力的检测方法,以及用于影响miRNA成熟的物质,特别是用于抑制miRNA成熟的物质。根据该发明提供了miRNA处理
抑制剂效力的检测方法,包括以下步骤:a)提供目标miRNA前体,b)提供一个或多个目标miRNA前体处理步骤的潜在
抑制剂,c)在miRNA成熟条件下将目标miRNA前体和潜在
抑制剂结合在一起,d)确定抑制效率。本发明的检测方法允许非常快速和简便地评估潜在
抑制剂在抑制miRNA前体转化为miRNA的处理过程中的效力。
