Figure 9

Expressions of β-catenin and apoptotic nuclei and in kidney parenchyma at 72 h after IR procedure. (a) to (e) illustration of microscopic finding (400×) of immunofluorescent stain for assessing the β-catenin-positively stained cells (green color) in renal tubules. (f) Analytic results of β-catenin+ cell expression, SC vs. IR, p < 0.0001; * vs. other groups with different symbols (†, ‡, §, ¶), p < 0.0001. (g) to (k) Microscopic finding (200×) of TUNEL assay for identification of apoptotic nuclei (gray color) in renal parenchyma. (l) Analytical results of apoptotic nucleus expression, SC vs. IR, p < 0.0001; * vs. other groups with different symbols (†, ‡, §, ¶), p < 0.0001. Scale bars in right lower corner represent 20 µm. All statistical analyses were performed by one-way ANOVA, followed by Bonferroni multiple comparison post hoc test (n=8 for each group). Symbols (*, †, ‡, §, ¶) indicate significance (at 0.05 level). Ex4: exendin-4; IR: ischemia–reperfusion; Mel: melatonin; SC: sham control. (A color version of this figure is available in the online journal.)
