Validation of expression and relationship of the key genes. (A) HPCs and HMCs were cultured in vitro and stimulated by high glucose. Expression of the key lncRNAs and some of their co-expressed mRNAs were tested by qPCR. Relative expression in high glucose group was normalized to expression in normally cultured cells. LncRNA NR_130134.1 (B) and NR_029395.1 (C) were knocked down by specific siRNA in cultured HMCs. After that, high glucose (40 mM) was added for 24 h. Expression of related mRNAs was tested in each group. n = 3, *P < 0.05 vs. Control group. #P < 0.05 vs. high glucose group. (D) Expression of three key lncRNAs was tested by FISH in high glucose-stimulated HMCs.
