HG induced SV40-MES13 cell inflammation, ECM deposition and cell apoptosis. SV40-MES13 cells were treated with HG, NG or mannitol. A The expression of circSMAD4 was detected by qPCR. B–E The releases of IFN-γ, MCP-1, IL-6 and TNF-α in medium were determined by ELISA. F The protein levels of fibronectin and collagen IV were measured by western blot. G Cell apoptosis was assessed by flow cytometry assay. H The protein levels of Bcl-2 and Bax were measured by western blot. *P < 0.05
