Effects of microRNA-638 (miR-638) upregulation on high glucose-induced pro-inflammatory factors and proliferation. A Real-time reverses transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) is used to detect the expression level of miR-638 in high glucose-induced human mesangial cells (HMCs). B The expression level of miR-638 after transfection with miR-638 mimic and high glucose (HG) stimulation of human mesangial cells (HMCs). C Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) is used to detect the proliferation of HMCs transfected with miR-638 mimic and cultured with high glucose (HG). D–F Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is used to detect the level of inflammatory cytokines. * P < 0.05, *** P < 0.001, compared with normal glucose (NG); # # # P < 0.05, # # P < 0.01, # # # P < 0.05, compared with high glucose (HG)
