Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 and osteopontin mRNA expression in NZB/W mesangial cells under the baseline condition. Mesangial cells were incubated in the baseline (normal culture, 20% fetal bovine serum (FBS)) condition for different periods of time, and then levels of (a) monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) mRNA or (b) osteopontin (OPN) mRNA were examined by real-time PCR. The experiment was performed in triplicate, and results are expressed as the mean ± standard error, n = 6. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01.
