The role of A1AR agonist CCPA and antagonist DPCPX in EMT in HK2 cell cultured with high glucose. (a, b) Western blotting quantitative analysis for vimentin and collagen III of HKC cells cocultured with normal glucose, high glucose, high mannitol, and high glucose with CCPA and DPCPX. (c, d) Western blotting quantitative analysis for collagen I, TGFβ, and occludin of HKC cells cocultured with normal glucose, high glucose, high mannitol, and high glucose with CCPA and DPCPX. Data are shown as the ; # HG vs. NG, HG vs. HG+DPCPX, and HG vs. HG+CCPA. Abbreviations: CCPA: A1AR agonist; DPCPX: A1AR antagonist.
