Delayed HOE-140 treatment protects mice from renal expression of mRNAs that encode pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrotic molecules that are induced by Adriamycin injection. The parameters were analyzed at 7 days after the injection of 10 mg of Adriamycin (ADM) per kg of bodyweight into balb/c mice. HOE-140 prevented the upregulated expression of IL-1β mRNA (A). The blockage of B2RBK was also efficient in preventing the upregulation of B1RBK mRNA expression (B) and the pro-fibrotic molecules PAI-1 (C) and TGF-β (D). Expression of the mRNAs were normalized to that of hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (HPRT). *P<0.05 compared with that of control mice, #P<0.05 compared with that of mice treated with only ADM. Five animals were used per study group.
