Figure 5.
COS administration attenuates renal interstitial fibrosis at 2 months after renal I/R injury. (A) Renal morphology was examined with H&E staining. Areas bordered by yellow dotted line shows the pathological changes in kidney. Scale bar represents 50 μm. (B) Renal interstitial fibrosis was detected using Masson trichome staining. Arrows show extracellular matrix deposition around renal tubules. Scale bar represents 50 μm. (C) Immunohistochemical staining of α-SMA. Scale bar represents 50 μm. (D) IHC analysis of Collagen I in kidney tissues. Scale bar represents 50 μm. (E-F) mRNA expression of Collagen I and Fibronectin relative to GAPDH (mean ± SEM, *p < 0.05, n = 8).
