Both ERK/MAPK and TGF-Beta/Smad Signaling Pathways Play a Role in the Kidney Fibrosis of Diabetic Mice Accelerated by Blood Glucose Fluctuation

Figure 4

BGF treatment enhanced ERK1/2 phosphorylation in the kidney of mice. The p38 activity was not sensitive to BGF treatment. Whole cell lysates were collected and subjected to Western blot analysis for phosphorylated ERK1/2, p38 and total ERK 1/2, p38.
