Figure 3. CDK2 is downregulated in podocyte injury models in vitro.

Figure 3

(A) Representative immunoblot for CDK2 after PA- and LPS-treatments. Tubulin is included as a loading control. (B) Quantification of CDK2 after PA-treatment shows a decrease in CDK2 expression level in cultured human podocytes. (C) Quantification of CDK2 after LPS-treatment shows a decrease in CDK2 expression level in cultured human podocytes. (D) Flow cytometry of cultured human podocytes stained with annexin V and 7-AAD double labeling, where annexin V is used as an apoptosis and 7-AAD as a necrosis marker, confirms that PA- and LPS-treatments increase podocyte apoptosis. The experiments were performed three times with three replicates in each experiment. Data are presented as mean ± SD. *p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001 vs. control group.
