2,3,5,4′-Tetrahydroxystilbene-2-O-β-D-glucoside Promotes Expression of the Longevity Gene Klotho

Figure 2

THSG reversed the decrease in klotho mRNA expression mediated by Ang II in NRK-52E rat renal tubular epithelial cells in vitro. Cells were stimulated with or without Ang II (100 nmol/L) for 6 or 24 h and were treated with or without THSG for 6 or 24 h. Klotho mRNA expression was measured using the Maxima SYBR Green qPCR Master Mix. Data are normalized to GAPDH mRNA expression levels ( per group). Data are expressed as mean ± SD. versus control group; versus Ang II-stimulated group.
