FIG. 4.

Overexpression of hnRNP F attenuates renal hypertrophy in Akita Tg mice. A: Kidney size. B: KW/BW ratio. C: WB of p27kip1 protein expression in RPTs of WT controls, hnRNP F-Tg, Akita, and Akita hnRNP F-Tg mice. The relative densities of the p27Kip1 band were normalized with the β-actin band. p27Kip1 level in WT control mouse RPTs was considered as the control (100%). D: Periodic acid Schiff staining of mouse kidneys: WT control mouse (a), hnRNP F-Tg mouse (b), Akita mouse (c), and Akita hnRNP F-Tg mouse (d) at week 20. Original magnification ×600. Mean glomerular volume (E), mean RPTC volume (F), and mean tubular luminal area (G) of WT control mice, hnRNP F-Tg mice, Akita mice, and Akita hnRNP F-Tg mice at week 20. **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.005.
