Expression of SMO increases in SSAT-wt mice subjected to endotoxin-induced AKI. Total RNA (30 μg/well) from kidneys of LPS- or saline-treated animals (n = 3) was size-fractionated and then subjected to Northern blot analysis using radiolabeled SMO cDNA probe. A single band was recognized by the SMO probe (top). Equal loading was confirmed by the examination of 28s rRNA bands (bottom).
