Effects of CML, anti-RAGE antibody, and an ERS inhibitor on HK-2 cell apoptosis. Cell apoptosis was determined after incubation with CML, CML plus anti-RAGE, CML plus 4-PBA, or 4-PBA alone for 24 h. HK-2 cell apoptosis includes early apoptotic (FITC+PI−) and late apoptotic (FITC+PI+) cells. The histogram represents the means ± SD of the numbers of apoptotic cells from 3 experiments, expressed as a percentage of the Ctr. , compared with the Ctr; , compared with CML.
