After the concentration and purity of RNA samples were tested, cDNA samples were synthesized by reverse transcription with U6 and GAPDH as the internal reference, respectively.
SYBR Green (Applied Biosystems, USA) premixed solution, templates, forward (F)/reverse (R) primers, and DEPC (Beyotime Biotechnology, China) were prepared into PCR solution, which was placed on a RT‐PCR instrument for PCR amplification. MiRNAs were reversely transcribed into cDNAs by
miRNA RT Kit [Tiangen Biotech (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.], and PCR and quantitative analysis of miRNAs were carried out according to
miRNA qPCR kit instructions [Tiangen Biotech (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.]. 2
‐△△ct method was applied to calculate the relative expression levels and the control genes were U6 and GAPDH. Primer sequences are listed below:
miR‐656‐3p (F: 5'ACACTCCAGCTGGGAATATTATACAGTCA 3',.
R: 5'CTCAACTGGTGTCGTGGAGTCGGCAATTCAGTTGAGAGAGGUUG 3');
U6 (F: CTCGCTTCGGCAGCAGCACATATA,R: AAATATGGAACGCTTCACGA);
NORAD (F: 5'TGATAGGATACATCTTGGACATGGA3'),
R: 5'AACCTAATGAACAAGTCCTGACATACA3');
GAPDH (F: 5'GAAGAGAGAGACCCTCACGCTG3', R: 5'ACTGTGAGGAGGGGAGATTCAGT3');
AKT1 (F: 5'AGCGACGTGGCTATTGTGAAG3', R: 5'GCCATCATTCTTGAGGAGGAAGT3').
