Jak2-Independent Activation of Stat3 by Intracellular Angiotensin II in Human Mesangial Cells

Figure 3

Effect of intracellular Ang II on TGF-b1, collagen IV, and fibronectin. Cell media from mesangial cells transfected with Ang II (NG + t-Ang II) for 24 h showed a significant increase in TGF-b1, collagen IV, and fibronectin levels compared to cells incubated in 5 mM glucose (NG) alone. Data are presented as mean ± SEM ( ). versus NG.
