Hyperoside alleviates HG-induced apoptosis and inflammation by upregulation of miR-499a-5p. (A) RT-qPCR was performed on extracts of HK-2 cells under different treatments: control; HG; HG + hyperoside to detect miR-499a-5p expression. (B) Knockdown efficiency of miR-499a-5p in HG-treated HK-2 cells was evaluated by RT-qPCR. (C,D) TUNEL and FITC/PI staining assays were applied to detect influence of miR-499a-5p inhibitor on hyperoside in HG-treated HK-2 cells. (E) Western blotting revealed Bcl-2 and Bax proteins. (F,G) Western blotting and ELISA were performed to reveal IL-10, IL-6 and IL-1β levels. **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ns indicates no significance.
