[Retracted] Protease-Activated Receptor 1 Contributes to Microcirculation Failure and Tubular Damage in Renal Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in Mice

Figure 2

Renal function and histopathological changes following inhibition of PAR-1. IR-induced renal dysfunction was significantly suppressed by Q94. Treatment with Q94 inhibited the increase in blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and plasma creatinine (a, b) levels in IR mice (). vs. IR+vehicle. H&E staining showed that 30 min of I/R followed by 24 h reperfusion induced much milder tubular damage in IR+Q94 group mouse kidney compared to that in IR+vehicle (c). Analysis of tubular damage score based on H&E images (e) (). vs. IR+vehicle. Treatment with Q94 suppressed the increase in the Kim-1-positive area in the kidney of IR-injured mice (d, f) (–7). . vs. IR+vehicle.
