A: The activities of small GTPases (Rac1, Cdc 42 and RhoA) in differentiated mouse podocytes were evaluated with or without BpV (100 ug/ml) treatment by Western blot after a pull-down assay (n=3 in each group, *<0.05).
B: Rac1, Cdc 42 and RhoA activities were evaluated by Western blot analysis after treatment with Ang II (ug/ml) for 24 h.
C: After exposure to TGF-β1 for 16 h, Rac1, Cdc 42 and RhoA activities were assessed by Western blotting. For the analysis of forced expression of PTEN, differentiated mouse podocytes were infected with adenoviruses: Ad-PTEN or Ad-β-gal (as control).
