Influence of miR‐140‐5p on the effects of Dandelion sterol on related gene expression in high‐glucose–treated HK‐2 cells. Ctrl: HK‐2 cells were treated normally; Model: HK‐2 cells were treated with high glucose; miR‐inhibitor‐NC: HK‐2 induced by high glucose and transfected with miR‐inhibitor‐NC; Dan: HK‐2 induced by high glucose treated with 100 mg/L Dan; Dan+miR‐inhibitor: HK‐2 induced by high glucose treated with 100 mg/L Dan and transfected with miR inhibitor. ***: p < .001, compared with Ctrl; ###: p < .001, compared with Model group; $$$: p < .001, compared with Dan
