Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how NCTD (norcantharidin) affects the growth and fibronectin expression in HK-2 kidney cells exposed to albumin.
- HK-2 cells were categorized into groups: control, albumin, and those treated with various NCTD concentrations, to assess cell proliferation and fibronectin levels.
- Results showed that NCTD reduced both cell growth and fibronectin expression compared to the albumin group, suggesting its potential role in preventing kidney damage related to proteinuria.
