Effects of Zn on the HG-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition of HPMCs. (A) Western blotting. Densitometry analysis of (B) E-cadherin and (C) vimentin expression in HPMCs following co-treatment with HG, and TPEN or ZnSO4 for 48 h. Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation. P-values were determined using ANOVA with Tukey's post hoc test. *P<0.05 vs. NC; #P<0.05 vs. HG. NC, negative control; HG, high glucose; TPEN, N,N,N',N'-tetrakis (2-pyridylmethyl) ethylenediamine; Zn, ZnSO4; HPMC, human peritoneal mesothelial cell.
