Effect of angiotensin II (Ang II) on pro-fibrotic gene expression in NRK-52E cells. Cells were treated with Ang II at the indicated concentrations for 48 h. Fibronectin, collagen IV and TGF-β1 were detected by Western blot analysis. Media containing Ang II were changed every 24 h. Data are presented as the mean±SEM of 3 experiments. ^bP<0.05, ^cP<0.01 compared with control [Ang II (0 μmol/L)].
