TG protects podocytes from apoptosis through the upregulation of autophagy. (A) Flow cytometric dot plots of Annexin V and propidium iodide staining. (B) Bar graph showing the rates of apoptosis of podocytes in the individual groups. The podocyte apoptotic rate was decreased in the PAN+TG group and the PAN+CQ+TG group, compared with the rate in the PAN group and PAN+CQ group, respectively. Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation (n=3). *P<0.05, **P<0.01 and ***P<0.001 vs. PAN group; #P<0.05, ##P<0.01 and ###P<0.001 vs. PAN+CQ group. TG, tripterygium glycoside; PAN, puromycin aminonucleoside; CQ, chloroquine.
