In vivo effects of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and dietary phosphorus intake on aortic osteogenic differentiation and components of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. (A) α-actin and (B) Sost mRNA levels in abdominal aortas from Sham-operated (Reference) and CKD mice fed a normal (NP) or high phosphorus (HP) diet for 14 weeks. All values are expressed relative to reference group. Mean and individual mice values are shown. a p < 0.05 vs. Reference. R.U., relative units vs. reference group. GAPDH was used as housekeeping gene. (C) Correlation between α-actin mRNA levels and serum sKlotho in all groups. Each shape represents Reference (○), CRF+NP (●) and CRF+HP (■) values.
