EPCs inhibit oxidative stress and secretion of inflammatory cytokines in a PRK kidney injury model induced by Ang II. (A) Flow cytometry analysis of the effect of EPC co-culture on the levels of ROS produced by Ang II-treated PRKs. ELISA results of the effect of EPCs on the levels of (B) MDA, (C) GSH-Px and (D) SOD in Ang II-treated PRKs. Effect of EPC co-culture on the levels of secreted (E) IL-1β, (F) IL-6 and (G) TNF-α in Ang II-treated PRKs. *P<0.05 vs. Control; #P<0.05 vs. Ang II. Ang II, angiotensin II; ROS, reactive oxygen species; EPCs, endothelial progenitor cells; PRKs, primary rat kidney cells; MDA, malondialdehyde; GSH-Px, glutathione peroxidase; SOD, superoxide dismutase.
