Figure Legend Snippet: Claudin-2 deficiency induced tubular epithelial CTGF is involved in fibroblast activation and proliferation. ( A and B ) Immunocytochemistry revealed the nuclear localization of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) in activated-fibroblasts in 5.5mM D-glucose (NG) medium or 30mM D-glucose (HG) medium ± co-culture with NRK52E cells ± si- Cldn2 ± pcDNA3.1- Cldn2 ± si- Ctgf ± pcDNA3.1- Ctgf . Cells were immune-stained for α-SMA (red) and PCNA (green) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). White arrows indicate positive staining. Magnification ×400, scale bar =100µm. ( C and D ) Representative image and quantitative analysis show the effect of interfering with Claudin-2 and CTGF protein expression in PTECs on fibroblast proliferation in 5.5mM D-glucose (NG) medium or 30mM D-glucose (HG) medium. Data are the mean ± SEM (n=3). ** P <0.01, vs NRK52E-si- Cldn2 -si-NC+NRK49F+NG; ## P <0.01, vs NRK52E-pcDNA3.1- Cldn2 -pcDNA3.1-NC+HG.
Techniques Used: Activation Assay, Immunocytochemistry, Co-Culture Assay, Staining, Expressing
Figure Legend Snippet: Claudin-2 deficiency induced tubular epithelial CTGF facilitates fibroblasts to product matrix protein. ( A ) Western blot demonstrated CTGF inhibition in NRK52E-si- Cldn2 cells decreased α-SMA and collage I expression in NRK49F cells, when the cells were co-cultured in 5.5mM D-glucose (NG) medium. Overexpression of CTGF in NRK52E-pcDNA3.1- Cldn2 cells increased α-SMA and collage I expression in NRK49F cells, when the cells were co-cultured in 30mM D-glucose (HG) medium. ( B and C ) The interference efficiency of Claudin-2 and CTGF protein expression in NRK52E cells were confirmed by Western blot analyses. Quantitative analysis of Claudin-2 and CTGF are shown above. ( D and E ) Quantitative analysis of α-SMA and collagen I in NRK49F cells are shown above. Data are expressed as mean data ± SEM (n = 3), ** P <0.01, NRK52E-si- Cldn2 -si-NC+NRK49F+NG; ## P <0.01, vs NRK52E-pcDNA3.1- Cldn2 -pcDNA3.1-NC+HG.
Techniques Used: Western Blot, Inhibition, Expressing, Cell Culture, Over Expression
