  • Publication number: 20180363056
    Abstract: The disclosure includes methods of determining the activity of an inhibitor of a target microRNA (miRNA) or of a mimic of a target microRNA. Determination of polysome occupancy in treated and control samples followed by comparing the occupancies can be used to determine a displacement value for the inhibitor or mimic of the target miRNA. The displacement value reflects the extent of a change in the levels of the target miRNA (which may include the mimic if applicable) in polysomal and non-polysomal compartments of a sample or a shift of the target miRNA between polysomal and non-polysomal compartments of a sample and can indicate the activity of the inhibitor toward the target miRNA or of the mimic toward a target RNA.
