Figure 7 Overexpression of STAT3 and CypA inhibited the IL-37-induced reduction of inflammation and oxidative stress in high glucose-treated podocytes. (A) Expression of the inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 was detected by ELISA. (B) Expression of the inflammatory proteins MCP-1 and NLRP3 was detected by western blot. (C) Expression of the oxidative stress-related factors MDA, LDH, and SOD was detected by ELISA. *** p<0.001 vs. NG; # p<0.05, ## p<0.01, ### p<0.001 vs. HG; & p<0.05 vs. HG+IL-37. NG – normal glucose group (medium with 5.5 mM glucose); HG – high-glucose group (medium with 30 mM glucose); HG+IL-37 – high-glucose group with added IL-37.
