Dapagliflozin upregulated the expression of ABCA1 and KLF-5 in DN. (A) WB revealed that dapagliflozin could upregulate the expression of ABCA1 and KLF-5, which were downregulated in the DN group, significantly during in vivo experiments. (B) IHC showed that the expression of ABCA1 and KLF-5 were significantly downregulated in the DN group, while dapagliflozin treatment could upregulate it. (Data presented are the mean ± S.D.; *P < 0.05 vs. CTR, # P < 0.05 vs. DN, n = 3)
