Renal Protective Effect of Xiao-Chai-Hu-Tang on Diabetic Nephropathy of Type 1-Diabetic Mice

Figure 6

Effect of XCHT on TGF- 1, fibronectin, collagen IV, and BMP-7 expression in RMCs. RMCs were cultured in normal-glucose (NG; 5 mmol/L) or high-glucose (HG; 30 mmol/L) medium in the presence of 50  g/mL of XCHT for 24 h. (a) The mRNA expression of TGF-β1, fibronectin, collagen IV, and BMP-7 in RMCs detected by RT-PCR. -Actin mRNA expression is used as an internal control. (b) Western blot analysis of TGF- 1, fibronectin, collagen IV, and BMP-7 expression in RMCs.
