MG132 reversed the high-glucose induced increase of p-Akt(Ser473). (A) p-Akt(Ser473) expression in renal tissue was detected by western blotting: the level of p-Akt(Ser473) in the DN group was significantly higher than in the NC group and was reduced after administration of MG132 and deguelin for the indicted time. NC: normal control group; DN: diabetic nephropathy group; MG132: diabetic nephropathy plus MG132 treatment group; Deguelin: diabetic nephropathy plus deguelin treatment group. (B) p-Akt(Ser473) expression in HMCs was detected by western blotting: HMCs was treated with 5.5 mmol/L (CON) or 30 mmol/L (HG) high glucose for 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h; then, the HG group was treated with MG132 or deguelin. CON: 5.5 mmol/L glucose; HG: 30 mmol/L glucose; MG132: 30 mmol/L glucose with MG132; Deguelin: 30 mmol/L glucose with deguelin; means ± SEM; N = 6; *P < 0.05 vs. NC or CON; #P < 0.05 vs. DN or HG.
