The effect of bergenin on the viability of HK-2 and Caco-2 cells was evaluated using the CCK8 assay. Cells were treated with different concentrations of bergenin, followed by incubation with 10% CCK-8 (Dojindo, Kumamoto, Japan) in 100 μL of high-glucose serum-free DMEM for 4 h at 37°C. Absorbance at 450 nm was measured on a microplate reader (ELX808; BioTek, Winooski, VT, United States).
