HEK293T cells in 60-mm-diameter dishes (around 80% confluency) were co-transfected with 4 µg of a plasmid encoding SOCS1 fused to luciferase (Genecopoeia, HmiT021399-MT06) and 1 µg of the plasmid expressing wild-type pre-miR-155 using jetPRIME (Polypuls, 101000027) according to the manufacturer’s recommended protocol. The cells were seeded to 96-well plates (7,000 cells per well) after transfection. After incubating for 12 h, the cells were treated with DMSO (vehicle, 0.1% (v/v)) or pre-miR-155-RIBOTAC. A dose–response was measured by treating pre-miR-155-RIBOTAC at 0, 10 and 100 nM for 48 h and a time course was measured by treating pre-miR-155-RIBOTAC (100 nM) for 6, 24, 48 and 72 h. The Dual-Glo Luciferase Assay System (Promega, E2920) was used to measure luciferase activity, according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
