Active Vitamin D and Vitamin D Receptor Help Prevent High Glucose Induced Oxidative Stress of Renal Tubular Cells via AKT/UCP2 Signaling Pathway

Figure 3

Protein and mRNA levels of HK2 cells analyzed by western blot and RT-PCR. (a), (b), and (c) show the protein levels of VDR, p-AKT, and UCP2 evaluated by western blot. (d) mRNA levels of VDR, AKT, and UCP2 measured by RT-PCR. Results are presented as the fold change in activity relative to normoxic cells. The data are expressed as the mean ± SD. p<0.01 vs NG, p<0.01 vs HG, #p<0.01 vs HG+VD.
