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

Figure 3

Aldosterone regulates genes expression of ADAM17 (a), TGF-α, and HB-EGF (b). Cells were treated with 1 μmol/L Aldo for increasing times and gene expression levels were evaluated by real-time PCR. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM of 3 independent experiments. versus control.
