Figure 8. Effects of simvastatin and EGF on the levels of caveolin-1 protein in HLE-B3 cells treated with high concentrations of glucose.
Cells were incubated with 5 mM or 25 mM glucose in the presence or absence of either 10 nM simvastatin or 0.1 ng/ml EGF for
48 h. The levels of caveolin-1 protein were analyzed by western blot. The experiments were performed in triplicate. HG: 25
mM glucose; Control: 5 mM glucose.
