Figure Lengend Snippet: Macrophage‐Specific Deletion of Zxdb Protects Against Sepsis‐Induced Acute Kidney Injury. (A) Generation strategy for myeloid‐specific Zxdb knockout (Mac‐Zxdb‐KO) mice. (B) H&E staining of kidney sections from Sham, WT SI‐AKI, and Mac‐Zxdb‐KO SI‐AKI mice. (C‐D) Serum creatinine (Scr) (C) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) (D) levels in Sham, WT SI‐AKI, and Mac‐Zxdb‐KO SI‐AKI mice at 24 h post‐CLP. (E) KIM‐1 immunohistochemistry of kidney sections from Sham, WT SI‐AKI, and Mac‐Zxdb‐KO SI‐AKI mice. (F) TUNEL staining of kidney sections from Sham, WT SI‐AKI, and Mac‐Zxdb‐KO SI‐AKI mice. (G) Immunofluorescence of kidney sections stained for F480, CD86, and CD206. (H) Serum IL‐1β, IL‐10, and TNF‐α levels in Sham, WT SI‐AKI, and Mac‐Zxdb‐KO SI‐AKI mice at 24 h post‐CLP. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001.
Article Snippet: Sections were blocked and incubated overnight at 4°C using primary antibody against KIM‐1 (AF1817; R&D Systems, 1:200).
