doi: 10.3390/cells10113060
Figure Lengend Snippet: NSC828779 alleviates pathological changes in UUO mice. ( A , B ) H&E staining and scoring. ( C , D ) Masson trichrome staining and scoring of tubulointerstitial fibrotic area. IHC and scoring for F4/80 + ( E , F ), CD3 + ( G , H ), Col-III ( I , J ) and p-Smad2/3 ( K , L ). Original magnification, each 400×. Data are shown as means ± SEM of seven mice per group. The bar indicates 20 µm. Arrows indicate positive staining. The horizonal dashed line indicates the mean for sham control + NSC828779. NSC828779, a salicylanilide derivative. UUO, unilateral ureter obstruction; TILs, tubulointerstitial lesions. H&E staining, hematoxylin and eosin stain. Col-III, collagen III. # not detectable. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.005, **** p < 0.001, †††† p < 0.001 Day 7 versus Day14 of UUO + NSC828779, ‡ no significant difference Day 7 versus Day14 of UUO + NSC828779.
Article Snippet: For IHC analysis, renal tissue sections were stained with antibodies against F4/80 (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA), CD3 (Dako, Glostrup, Denmark), collagen (Col)-I, Col-III (Southern Biotech, Birmingham, AL, USA), p-Smad2/3 (Santa Cruz, CA, USA) or IL-36α (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA).
Techniques: Staining, Control, H&E Stain
