The effects of candidate hub genes of HKC on high glucose (HG)-induced HK-2 cells were evaluated using quantitative qPCR to measure the mRNA levels of IL6, TNF, GAPDH, AKT1, PPARG, and TP53 (A–F).Statistical significance was determined relative to the control group, with **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.001.
