Galangin Suppresses Renal Inflammation via the Inhibition of NF-κB, PI3K/AKT and NLRP3 in Uric Acid Treated NRK-52E Tubular Epithelial Cells

Figure 5

Effect of galangin on the expression of the phosphorylated form of PI3K and AKT in UA treated NRK-52E cells. Galangin decreased the expression of the phosphorylated form of PI3K and AKT in UA treated NRK-52E cells. Each of the protein bands was normalized to band of β-actin and reported as relative intensity. Results are expressed as mean ± SEM of three independent experiments. #p < 0.05, ##p < 0.01 vs control group; p < 0.05, p < 0.01 vs UA group.
