Effects of LPS and TNF-α on proliferation of normal and ADPKD cells. BrdU assay was performed in a HK-2, b WT9-7 and c WT9-12 cells following 4 h and 24 h of treatment with LPS (10 μg/ml) or TNF-α (20 ng/ml). Cell proliferation is expressed as the fold-change in absorbance over 0 h for the corresponding cell line. Data as mean + SD of n = 12 wells from 3 experiments
