Renal denervation reduced renal inflammation in SLE mice. A: renal cortical expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1 was increased in SLE mice compared with controls. MCP-1 expression was lower in denervated SLE mice compared with sham SLE mice. *P < 0.05 vs. corresponding control. +P < 0.05 vs. SLE/Sham. B: renal medullary expression of MCP-1 was similar in all groups (P = 0.727).
