Cell viability and CXCR3 expression in the cultured podocytes under the high glucose treatment. A. The cell viability of podocytes cultured under high glucose (HG; 15, 25, 35 or 50 mM) for 12, 24, 48 or 72 h by MTT assay. B. CXCR3 mRNA expression in cultured podocytes with HG (15, 25, 35 or 50 mM) for 48 h. C, D. Representative western blot and quantification of CXCR3 expression in cultured podocytes with HG (15, 25, 35 or 50 mM) for 48 h. *P<0.05, **P<0.01 compared with normal control (5.5 mM D-glucose).
