Paricalcitol Inhibits Aldosterone-Induced Proinflammatory Factors by Modulating Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Pathway in Cultured Tubular Epithelial Cells

Figure 1

Aldosterone induces EGFR phosphorylation in cultured tubular epithelial cells. Human tubular epithelial cells were treated (a) with 1 μmol/L aldosterone (Aldo) for increasing times or (b) with several concentrations (range 1–0.001 μmol/L Aldo) for 15 min. (c) The figure shows a quantification of time-course EGRF phosphorylation. The data are expressed as mean ± SEM of 4 independent experiments. versus control.
