Loss of podoplanin protein expression was determined using a semiquantitative method. The loss of podoplanin protein staining in Dahl SS samples was statistically significant from week 4 onward (A). The extent of loss of podoplanin expression was positively correlated with urinary albumin excretion rates (r = 0.8, P < 0.001) B: In contrast, there was a slight but significant increase in podoplanin mRNA expression levels in Dahl SS rats compared with SHR rats at weeks 4 to 10 (C). Nephrin mRNA expression was increased only in 10-week-old Dahl SS rats (D). An asterisk indicates P < 0.05.
