Effect of cyanidin-3-glucoside and palmitic acid on cytokine expression in human proximal tubular cells. Proximal tubular cells were incubated in the absence (control) or presence of cyanidin-3-glucoside (C-3-Glu: 2, 10 or 20 μM) for 4 h followed by incubation with palmitic acid (PA) (0.2 mM) for another 4 h. The mRNA expression of (A) TNF-α, (B) IL-6, and (C) MCP-1 were measured by using qPCR. The results are expressed as the means ± SE (n = 6). *p < 0.05 when compared with the value obtained from the control cells. #p < 0.05 when compared with the value obtained from palmitic acid treated cells.
