miR-382 Contributes to Renal Tubulointerstitial Fibrosis by Downregulating HSPD1

Figure 7

Expression of oxidative stress-related markers (Trx, 3-NT) in obstructed mouse kidneys. Treatment with 10 mg/kg anti-miR-382 reversed the downregulation of thioredoxin (Trx) and upregulation of 3-nitrotyrosine (3-NT) in UUO mice. (a) Representative images of Trx and 3-NT expression in mouse kidneys from all treatment groups. (b, c) Histogram represents the quantification of Trx and 3-NT staining in mouse kidneys. The positively stained area of 3-NT or Trx was quantified as described in Figure 1. compared with the normal group; # compared with the UUO group. UUO indicates unilateral ureteral obstruction. Normal indicates normal control ().
