A–C, Western blot analysis of ERK1/2, JNK, and p38 MAPK phosphorylation in mesangial cells. D, pretreatment of the mesangial cells with NaHS or MAPK inhibitors reduced high glucose-induced cell proliferation. *, p < 0.05 versus cells exposed to normal glucose; **, p < 0.05 versus cells exposed to high glucose (n = 5). P, phospho; T, total.
