Effects of atorvastatin on the expression of TGF-β1 mRNA gene human mesangial cells.

Group TGF-β1 mRNA expression level
Control 1±0
HG+LPC 1.88±0.21a
HG+LPC+atorvastatin 1.43±0.22b
a

P<0.05 vs. control group

b

P<0.05 vs. HG+LPC group. Each group was cultured for 24 h and the experiment was repeated three times. Detection of TGF-β1 mRNA expression was by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. TGF-β1, transforming growth factor-β1; HG, high glucose; LPC, lysophosphatidylcholine.
