The Effect of Allograft Inflammatory Factor-1 on Inflammation, Oxidative Stress, and Autophagy via miR-34a/ATG4B Pathway in Diabetic Kidney Disease

Figure 2

The levels of AIF-1, miR-34a, ATG4B, autophagy, and inflammation in kidney of db/db mice. (a) The expression of AIF-1 in db/db mice was evaluated by immunohistochemical staining. (b) The expression of AIF-1, ATG4B, LC3II, p62, and NLRP3 protein in db/db mice was detected by western blot. Versus db/m mice group, . (c) The expression of miR-34a in db/db mice was detected by qPCR. Versus db/db mice group, . AIF-1: allograft inflammatory factor-1; miR-34a: microRNA 34a; ATG4B: autophagy related 4 homolog B; LC3II and p62: autophagy-associated protein; NLRP3: NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3.
