Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) STZ-induced DN mice at 18 weeks demonstrated the increased expression of TNF-α, MCP-1, CD68, α-SMA and WISP1 gene by qPCR, compared with control mice ( n =12–15 mice/group). Immunofluorescence staining indicated the elevated expression of WISP1 in DN model. Macrophage co-localized with WISP1 staining (white arrow). ( B ) High glucose-treated RAW cells expressed more WISP1, TNF-α and MCP-1 than low glucose-treated cells. ( C ) The kidneys of mice with 7 days post-UUO surgery showed an increased expression of inflammation genes, TNF-α, MCP-1 and IL6 and an up-regulation of WISP1, compared with control kidneys ( n =5 mice/group). Immunofluorescence staining indicated the elevated expression of WISP1 in UUO model. Macrophage co-localized with WISP1 staining (white arrow). *** P <0.001,** P <0.01.
Article Snippet: Recombinant human WISP1 protein, IgG control and mouse WISP1 antibody were purchased commercially (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN) and used at specified concentrations.
