Figure Lengend Snippet: A , B Histopathological evaluation of renal cortical tissues through HE, Masson, and PAS staining (scale bar: 20 μm). Tubular regions (A, 63×) and glomerular structures (B, 40×). C Quantitative analysis of collagen fiber deposition (blue) in tubular regions via Masson staining using ImageJ ( n = 8). D Glomerular collagen content quantified by Masson staining and glomerular MMI measured by PAS staining ( n = 8), with magenta indicating glycogen deposition. E Blue: nuclei; Brown: FN1 and COL4A. Positive expression of FN1 and COL4A proteins in renal cortical tissues was detected by IHC staining (magnification: 63×, scale bar: 20 μm). F Quantitative analysis of positive areas (brown) in IHC results using ImageJ ( n = 8). G Western blot analysis and gray value quantification of α-SMA, FN1, and COL4A expression in renal cortical tissues from different experimental groups. β-Actin and β-Tubulin was used as a loading control. Gray value quantification of Western blotting results using ImageJ ( n = 3). H Functional enrichment analysis of FN1 gene and COL4A2 gene via RNA-seq profiling. * p < 0.05 vs. Sham group, # p < 0.05 vs. UUO group.
