MicroRNA (miRNA) mimics are synthetic, double-stranded RNA molecules used to emulate endogenous mature miRNAs. These mimics are designed to directly enter the miRNA processing pathway to control specific miRNA activity and precisely regulate miRNA cellular levels. This approach facilitates the upregulation of miRNA activity, enabling functional analyses such as miRNA target site identification, validation, and screening for miRNAs that influence gene expression or cellular processes. Alfa Chemistry offers high-quality miRNA mimics optimized for precision and efficiency, enabling researchers to advance their studies in the areas of gene regulation, molecular biology and therapeutics.
Product Advantages
These miRNA mimics are pre-designed for immediate transfection, eliminating the need for time-consuming sequence design or optimization. Engineered to closely resemble endogenous miRNAs, they efficiently integrate into the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) and regulate target gene expression in a manner identical to natural miRNAs.
- Comprehensive Availability
These miRNA mimics cover all human, mouse, and rat miRNAs cataloged in the latest miRBase database, providing researchers with a vast selection to match their specific experimental needs. For miRNAs of other species and novel miRNAs not yet included in public databases, we also offer custom mimic synthesis services.
These miRNA mimics are not only convenient and easy to operate, but also can be seamlessly integrated into the experimental workflow. They can be efficiently transfected into cells using standard transfection reagents, without requiring complex procedures. This ease of use enables researchers to focus on data analysis and interpretation, accelerating miRNA-related research and therapeutic development.
Product Applications
miRNA mimics help elucidate the biological roles of miRNAs by modulating their activity in vivo. For example, researchers use them to investigate gene expression pathways, validate target interactions, and explore regulatory networks.
Additionally, in therapeutic contexts, miRNA mimics have shown promise. For instance, intravenous administration of miR-29 mimics in mouse models resulted in elevated miR-29 levels for several days, leading to decreased collagen expression and the reversal of pulmonary fibrosis. This underscores the potential of miRNA mimics in treating fibrotic diseases by restoring the function of downregulated miRNAs.
Finally, pharmaceutical companies can utilize miRNA mimics for high-throughput screening to identify new drug targets and validate biomarkers. Their precision in gene regulation makes them valuable tools in developing targeted therapies.
