Figure 4. PPARγ agonist rosiglitazone inhibits EMT in high glucose cultured NRK-52E cells.

Figure 4

A. Effect of rosiglitazone on the expression of E-cadherin, Vimentin and Collagen IV compared between conditions. B. Increased PPARγ (green) and E-cadherin (red) with rosiglitazone treatment and overlaid image showing colocalization (yellow, arrows) in high glucose condition (30 mM). C. Rosiglitazone upregulated E-cadherin but downregulated Vimentin and Collagen IV. D. Decreased migrated cells with rosiglitazone treatment. E. Decreased invaded distance with rosiglitazone treatment. Results are presented as mean ± SD of three independent experiments. *P<0.05, #P<0.001 compared with DMSO. EMT, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition; Rosi.: rosiglitazone.
