Analysis of phospho-Akt/PKB (~60 kDa), E-cadherin (~120 kDa), and alpha smooth muscle actin (not shown) protein abundances in renal tissue homogenates from rats receiving 12 weeks of treatment with cyclosporine A, cyclosporine A in combination with eplerenone and vehicle-controls (n=6-8 per condition). Bar graphs show mean densitometry values from immunoblotting experiments for each condition compared to vehicle control. The same control samples were run on each gel together with CsA-treated and combinated treated rat tissue homogenates. Densitometry values were set to 100% in controls. CsA: Cyclosporine A. EPL: Eplerenone. SMC: Smooth muscle cells. Values are given as relative changes compared to controls. * p<0.05 when compared to the control group.
