Figure 3

Immunoblot analysis was performed with a specific antibody against E-cadherin and α-SMA (A). Whole kidney were prepared and processed for immunoblot. β-actin was used as loading control and data were normalized against the density of β-actin by TotalLab TL100 v2006 software. Immunohistochemical staining was performed with a specific antibody against α-SMA (B). Scale bar, 50 μm. ALA; only ALA treated group, ALA + Sham; ALA treated and no ureteral ligated group, UUO; no ALA treated, but ureteral ligated group, UUO + ALA; ALA treated and ureteral ligated group. Values are expressed as means ± SE (*P < 0.05). Arrow, tubular interstitial area. Asterisk, the dilated tubules.
