1 Dexmedetomidine Attenuates High Glucose-induced HK-2 Epithelial-mesenchymal Transition by Inhibiting AKT and ERK. Glucose AKT serine/threonine kinase 1 Homo sapiens
2 Results: Compared with HK-2 cells exposed to high level of glucose, the HK-2 cells exposed to both high level of glucose and Dex showed: (1) lower level of ROS production; (2) cell morphology was complete; (3) more cells in G1 phase; (4) lower expression of p-AKT, p-ERK and alpha-SMA, higher expression of E-Cadherin and Claudin-1. Glucose AKT serine/threonine kinase 1 Homo sapiens
3 Conclusion: Dex can attenuate high glucose-induced HK-2 epithelial-mesenchymal transition by inhibiting AKT and ERK. Glucose AKT serine/threonine kinase 1 Homo sapiens
