China) and the concentration of extracted RNA was detected. Next, miR-101-3p and
U6 were reversely transcribed into cDNA using the One Step PrimeScript miRNA
cDNA Synthesis kit (Takara). HOTTIP, STC1 and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate
dehydrogenase (GAPDH) were reversely transcribed into cDNA using the PrimeScript
RT reagent kit with gDNA Eraser (Takara). The expressions of HOTTIP, STC1,
miR-101-3p were detected on the instructions of SYBR Premier Ex Taq II (Takara)
using qRT-PCR, with cDNA acting as the template. The relative expression of miR
and mRNAs was calculated by 2-ΔΔCt method, with U6 and GAPDH acting
as the internal reference. Primer sequences are illustrated in
