Apoptosis and gene expression in human kidneys from patients with or without diabetes. A: TUNEL assay and DAPI staining. The arrows indicate cells that stained positive for TUNEL. Immunostaining of AGT (B), Ac-p53 (C), hnRNP F (D), SIRTUIN-1 (E), and FOXO3α (F) in kidney sections from two representative cancer patients without diabetes (e and f, patients with clear cell carcinoma) and two representative cancer patients with diabetes (g, patient with clear cell carcinoma; h, patient with oncocytoma). Original magnification ×200. P, proximal tubule; G, glomerulus. Scale bars = 50 μm.
