Figure 7. The effects of JPYSF on the expression of NAD+ biosynthesis-related enzymes in HK-2 cells. (A) Representative Western blot images of QPRT, NAPRT1, NMNAT1, NRK1, and NAMPT expression in HK-2 cells stimulated with TGF-β1 at the concentrations of 0, 2, 5, and 10 ng/mL. (BF) Quantitative analysis of QPRT, NAPRT1, NMNAT1, NRK1 and NAMPT expression in HK-2 cells stimulated with TGF-β1 at the concentrations of 0, 2, 5 and 10 ng/mL, normalized to β-actin content (n = 3). (G) Representative Western blot images of QPRT, NMNAT1, and NRK1 expression in HK-2 cells with TGF-β1 or/and JPYSF stimulation. (HJ) Quantitative analysis of QPRT, NMNAT1, and NRK1 expression in HK-2 cells with TGF-β1 or/and JPYSF stimulation, normalized to β-actin content (n = 3). Data are expressed as mean ± SEM (nsp > 0.05, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 between the indicated two groups).
