Expression levels of mRNA and protein of TG family in kidney fibrosis. (A) The mRNA expression levels of the TG family (FXIIIA and TG1–7) were confirmed by RT-PCR. The successful detections for TG3–6 using each primer pair are confirmed in the other tissue extracts. The full-length gels are presented in Fig. S3. (B) The protein levels in the whole lysate from the kidney tissue were analyzed by immunoblotting using each indicated antibody and GAPDH as a loading control for each sample. The full-length blot is presented in Fig. S4. (C,D) Relative changes in the densitometric profiles of TG1 and TG2 levels from (B) are presented under corresponding bands after normalizing to the changes in GAPDH. The data are presented as the mean ± SD (n = 3) (**P < 0.01, *P < 0.05, Student’s t-test).
