Figure 7 In vitro experiments verified the expression of hub genes. (A) Relative mRNA level of MMP2, CASP3, and HIF-1α in MPC5 cells treated with high glucose (HG). (B) Relative mRNA level of MMP2, CASP3, and HIF-1α in THP-1 cells treated with advanced glycation end products (AGEs). (C, D) The secretion of TNF-α and the activity of superoxide dismutase in THP-1 cells. *** Represents P<0.001; ** P<0.01. (GraphPad Prism version 8.0.).
