Upregulation of SphK1 abolishes the effects of BA on cell viability and apoptosis in HG-treated HK-2 cells. (AE) SphK1 protein expression (A), S1P, p65, and p-p65 protein levels (B), CCK-8 assay of cell viability (C), LDH activity (D), and TUNEL assay of apoptosis (E) in HK-2 cells transfected with or without ov-SphK1 before treatment with HG (30 mM) or HG+BA (10 µM). *P<0.05, **P<0.01, and ***P<0.001 vs control; #P<0.05, ##P<0.01, and ###P<0.001 vs HG treatment; &P<0.05 and &&P<0.01 vs HG+BA treatment.
