Fig. 7From: Psoralen alleviates high glucose-induced HK-2 cell injury by inhibition of Smad 2 signaling via upregulation of microRNA 874Psoralen protected HG-induced ECM accumulation in HK-2 cells through TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway. a-d The expression of p-Smad2, Smad2, Vimentin and E-cadherin were analyzed by Western blot. Levels of p-Smad2, Vimentin and E-cadherin were quantified. e The levels of Vimentin and E-cadherin were quantified by Immunofluorescence. **P < 0.01 compared with control group; ##P < 0.01 compared with HG group; ^^P < 0.01 compared with HG + psoralen groupBack to article page
