Figure 8. Effects of paricalcitol on the expression of β-catenin and the vitamin D receptor (VDR).

Figure 8

The expression of β-catenin increased in HK-2 cells treated with 10 µM HHE for 6 h. In contrast, the expression of VDR decreased after HHE treatment. Paricalcitol pretreatment significantly attenuated these changes. The expression of glycogen synthase kinase-3β was not affected by paricalcitol pretreatment. *P<0.05 compared to the control; † P<0.05 compared to HHE-treated HK-2 cells. Pari, paricalcitol.
