Figure Lengend Snippet: Sprague-Dawley rats were treated with control siRNA and PP2A B55α siRNA by renal interstitial (RI) infusion 48 hours prior to renal interstitial (RI) infusion of vehicle or compound 21 (C21; baseline, 20, 40, and 60 ng/kg/min, each dose for 30 minutes). Urine Na + excretion (U Na V) ( A ) and mean arterial blood pressures (MAP) ( B ) were measured. A. U Na V measurements with the following treatments: control siRNA right kidney (RT) RI infusion of vehicle, control siRNA left kidney (LT) RI infusion of C21, PP2A B55α siRNA right kidney (RT) RI infusion of vehicle, PP2A B55α siRNA left kidney (LT) RI infusion of C21. B. MAP measurements in rats in which control siRNA or PP2A B55α siRNA was infused in both kidneys and vehicle into right and C21 into left kidneys. Data are shown as mean±SE. Statistical significance was determined using a repeated measures analysis with an unstructured covariance matrix in the SAS PROC MIXED program. Overall comparison for all periods between Control siRNA Vehicle (RT) and Control siRNA C21 (LT); F=30.39, P<0.001. Overall comparison for all periods between Control siRNA C21 (LT) and PP2A B55α siRNA C21 (LT); F=22.83, P<0.001.
