Fig. 6From: Ntrk1 promotes mesangial cell proliferation and inflammation in rat glomerulonephritis model by activating the STAT3 and p38/ERK MAPK signaling pathwaysNtrk1 might promote the viability, proliferation and inflammatory response of mesangial cells by activating the p38 and ERK signaling pathways. A CCK-8 assay to assess the viability of mesangial cells. B EdU experiment to evaluate the proliferation of mesangial cells. C qRT-PCR to monitor the pro-inflammatory factors (IFN-γ, TNF-α and IL-6) expression in mesangial cells. * P < 0.05. ** P < 0.01Back to article page
