Transcription factor EB (TFEB) expression is decreased and levels of the adaptor protein p62 are increased in the kidneys of patients with diabetic kidney disease. (A) Real-time PCR for TFEB in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded nephrectomy tissue from individuals with diabetic kidney disease (diabetes, n = 12) and individuals without diabetes and with normal kidney function (control, n = 12). (B) Immunohistochemistry for TFEB and quantification of cortical TFEB in kidney tissue from individuals with diabetic kidney disease (n = 7) or controls (n = 6). Scale bar = 100 μm. (C) Immunohistochemistry for p62 and quantification of tubule p62 immunostaining in kidney tissue from people with diabetic kidney disease (n = 10) or controls (n = 10). Scale bar = 50 μm. AU = arbitrary units. Values are mean ± SEM. P < 0.05, ∗∗P < 0.01.
