FXR mRNA expression is inversely correlated with CKD progression. (A) FXR mRNA expression in kidney samples from sham and I/R mice 16 wk after surgery. (B) FXR mRNA expression in human kidney biopsies was directly correlated with eGFR. (C) FXR mRNA expression in human kidney biopsies was inversely correlated with interstitial fibrosis, as determined by histology. The lowest level of FXR mRNA expression was set to 1 (shown as Inline graphic). (D and E) Representative images of (D) Masson’s trichrome staining and (E) PAS staining in renal biopsy sections from (a) normal subjects and (b) patients with CKD (scale bar 20 μm). (F) immunostaining for FXR in renal biopsy sections from (a) normal subjects and (b) patients with CKD (scale bar 100 μm).
