Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 6. Effect of rADAMTS13 on renal microthrombus and microangiopathy in AKI-F mice. (A) Renal ADAMTS13 (A) and vWF (B) levels. The values are indicated as % NC group. (C) Pearson’s correlation between renal ADAMTS13 and vWF levels in all of experimental mice. (D) Representative photographs of CD41a staining in kidney tissue of NC, D + 2, D + 3 (with and without treatment with rhADAMTS13) groups. (E) Quantification of CD41a+ microthrombus in kidney tissues. DAPI was used as nuclear staining. (F) Microvascular blood flow in the bilateral kidney tissues. (G) Renal mRNA levels of angiogenic factors (Hif1a, Vegfa, Vegfr2, Angpt1, and Tie2). (H) Renal mRNA levels of vascular inflammation markers (Vcam1, Icam1, Sele, and Selp). Gapdh was used as an internal control for qRT-PCR (G and H). The values are indicated as the ratio to NC group (E − H). Data are the mean ± SD, and *: p < 0.05, **: p < 0.01 with significant difference between groups by Student’s t-test (n = 9; A, B, F −H, n = 6; E). NC, normal control without CCl4 and LPS administration; AKI-F, acute kidney injury mice with advanced liver fibrosis; rAD, recombinant ADAMTS13.
