Overexpression of lncRNA NR_038323 Attenuated the HG-Deduced Expression Levels of Collagen I, Collagen IV, and Fibronectin

HK-2 cells were transfected with lncRNA NR_038323 plasmid or control and then treated with or without HG for 72 h. (A) Real-time qPCR analysis of lncRNA NR_038323 expression. (B) Western blot analysis of collagen I, collagen IV, and fibronectin. (C–E) Densitometric measurement of western blot bands for collagen I (C), collagen IV (D), and fibronectin (E). Data are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 6). #p < 0.05, control with HG or lncRNA NR_038323 group versus control group; *p < 0.05, lncRNA NR_038323 with HG group versus control with HG group.
