Prostacyclin Synthase: Upregulation during Renal Development and in Glomerular Disease as well as Its Constitutive Expression in Cultured Human Mesangial Cells

Figure 1

Mesenchymal expression of prostacyclin synthase in the developing human (24 weeks of gestation) and murine (postnatal day 0) kidney. (a) shows a low power view of a developing human kidney. (b) High power reveals absence of PGIS in epithelial structures. (c) Low power shows high subcapsular expression of PGIS-mRNA. (d) confirms the absence of labeling over epithelial structures.
