Aim: This study aimed to investigate the effect of norcantharidin (NCTD) on human mesangial cells (HMCs) apoptosis in vitro and further examine its molecular mechanism. Methods: HMCs were divided into 5 groups: control group, 25% fetal bovine serum (FBS)-treated group, and NCTD groups (NCTD [2.5, 5...
