ELISA assay detected the expression of cytokines in HKFs after incubation with PTX for 24 hours.

Notes: (A) The expression of TNF-α. (B) The expression of IL-6. (C) The expression of TGF-β. NF represents the normal fibroblasts group, K represents the HKFs group, K+PTX and K+LY294002 represent the treatment group with PTX and LY294002, respectively. Data are represent with mean ± SD; (n=6–8) **P<0.01 vs NF, ^##P<0.01 vs K.
