Fig 6. TSF inhibited PLZF upregulation and collagen III accumulation, and restored autophagy levels in NRK52E cells exposed to high levels of glucose.

(A) Western blot analysis of PLZF, LC3 II, p62/SQSTMI, and collagen III expression in NRK52E cells cultured for 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h. (B) The intensities of the each protein band were quantified. The data were expressed as the mean ± SEM. #P<0.05, ## P<0.01, HG group vs. NG group; *P<0.05, **P<0.01 HG+TSF group vs. HG group.
