Allicin (2.5, 5, 10 or 20 µg/ml) and PD98059 (20 µmol/l) reversed the high glucose-induced upregulation of TGF-β1 mRNA and protein expression levels in HK-2 cells at 48 h. The (A) mRNA and (B) protein expression levels of TGF-β1 were determined by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blotting, respectively. Data are presented as the mean ± standard error of the mean. *P<0.05 vs. the control; ΔP<0.05 vs. the high glucose group; #P<0.05 vs. PD98059. TGF-β1, transforming growth factor-β1.
