Figure 3.

The pericyte-myofibroblast transition and core fucosylation were increased in UUO mouse models (n = 5). (a) Representative images of dual staining for PDGFRβ (green) and FUT8 (red) and dual staining for LCA (green) and PDGFRβ (red). (b) Representative images of dual staining for FUT8 (green) and α-SMA (red) and dual staining for LCA (green) and α-SMA (red). (c) Spearman’s correlation coefficients were used to examine the differences in the fluorescence intensity of immunostaining for PDGFRβ, α-SMA, FUT8, and LCA in mice with different RIF scores. r, Spearman’s correlation coefficient; r1, PDGFRβ; r2, α-SMA; r3, FUT8; r4, LCA. Scale bar, 50 μm. *P < 0.01, ^† P < 0.01. * and ^† indicate the comparison of the control group with the UUO group.
