Figure Lengend Snippet: Inhibition of Dock2 by CPYPP attenuates tubular injury, inflammatory infiltration and interstitial fibrosis after renal IRI in mice. A , schematic of the experimental design for unilateral I/R in mice treated with CPYPP or vehicle via i.p. injection following I/R induction. B , measurement of Scr levels. C , H&E staining was performed to assess the effect of pharmacological inhibition of Dock2 by CPYPP on renal tissue architecture in mice at 3 days and 28 days post-I/R. Inflammatory cells, tubular casts, and dilated tubules are indicated by solid arrows , hollow arrows , and triangles , respectively. The scale bar represents 100 μm. D , tubular injury score at 3 days post-I/R (quantified from C ). E – I , western blot ( E ) and quantitative analysis ( F – I ) of renal cortical Havcr1/Kim1, IL-6, TNF-α, and MCP-1 expression in sham-operated and 3 days post-I/R mice, with or without CPYPP treatment. J , immunofluorescent staining for the macrophage marker F4/80 in renal cortical sections to assess inflammatory infiltration. The scale bar represents 40 μm. K , the quantitative analysis of the F4/80 immunofluorescence staining from ( J ). L – N , western blot ( L ) and quantitative analysis ( M and N ) of renal cortical FN and α-SMA expression in sham-operated and 28 days post-I/R mice, with or without CPYPP treatment. O , Masson's trichrome staining was used to evaluate the effect of CPYPP on renal collagen deposition at 28 days post-I/R, with quantification data shown in ( P ). The scale bar represents 100 μm. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. n.s, not significant; ∗ p < 0.05; ∗∗ p < 0.01; ∗∗∗ p < 0.001; ∗∗∗∗ p < 0.0001.

Article Snippet: Following blocking, the sections were incubated overnight at 4 °C with an anti-Havcr1/Kim1 primary antibody (R&D Systems, cat. AF1817, dilution 1:200), then treated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated secondary antibody at room temperature (RT) for 1 h, and finally developed with 3,3′-diaminobenzidine (DAB) substrate (ZSGB, ZLI-9017).
