SI Guide Supplementary Figure 1 MiR-122 is quantitatively recovered from a duplex formed with antagomir-122. Equal amounts of miR-122 and antagomir-122 were annealed in vitro and added to a Trizol/liver homogenate. RNA was extracted and samples were separated on a polyacrylamide gel in the absence of formamide. The data demonstrate that miR-122 can be quantitatively recovered from a miR-122/antagomir-122 duplex using the Trizol protocol with ethanol precipitation.

Total liver RNA was incubated in the presence of different amounts of antagomir-122. Samples were subjected to Trizol extraction and separated in polyacrylamide gels in the presence or absence of 20% formamide. MiR-122 was detected by Northern blotting.

Suppl.Fig. 3.pdf Adobe document 220 KB Supplementary Figure 4 Antagomirs specifically target miRNAs that derive from the same primary transcript. Northern blots of total RNA isolated from liver and kidney after injection of antagomir192 or antagomir-194. The results demonstrate specific inhibition of miRNAs derived from polycistronic precursors by antagomirs.
