PHPS1 alleviates renal inflammation in db/db mice. A-C WT and db/db mice were adminstrated i.p. with 8 mg/kg/d PHPS1 for 12 weeks, starting at 8 weeks to 20 weeks of age. Injecton of equal volume of vehicle was used as control (Ctrl). Each group included 6 mice. The mRNA level of TNF-α (A), IL-6 (B), and CCL-2 (C) in renal tissue of each group mice was quantified by qRT-PCR analysis. Student’s test, **, p < 0.01; NS, not significant (n = 6). D CCL-2 in kidney tissue isolated from each group was stained by IHC experiment (upper). The immunofluorescent detection of F4/80 (red dots) was used to evaluate renal macrophage infiltration (lower). E The number of F4/80+ infiltrated macrophages as shown in (D) was quantified and the percentage of these cells in each group was presented. Student’s test, *, p < 0.05; NS, not significant (n = 6)
