Triptolide Attenuates Podocyte Injury by Regulating Expression of miRNA-344b-3p and miRNA-30b-3p in Rats with Adriamycin-Induced Nephropathy

Figure 4

Triptolide ameliorated podocyte foot process effacement in rats with adriamycin-induced nephropathy. (a) No significant abnormalities were detected in podocytes of a rat from the normal group (here and in the remaining panels of this figure: magnification ×15,000). (b) Vacuolated podocytes and extensive podocyte foot process fusion observed in a rat from the model group. (c) Apparent absence of abnormal podocytes in a rat from the triptolide group.
