Figure 1

Acute tubular necrosis, apoptosis and oxidative stress. (A–D) Vacuolized necrotic tubular cells (red arrows), pyknosis, karyolysis, karyorrhexis (black arrows), and casts of tubular light chains were observed in IR groups. Stain: haematoxylin-eosin. (E–L) The ischaemia-reperfusion (IR) and IR + DEXA groups showed enhanced expression of caspase-3 and nitrotyrosine (arrows), compared with the SHAM and IR + GAL-1 groups. Counterstain: haematoxylin. Bars: 75 μm (A, CL); 50 μm (B). (M) Semi-quantitative score of acute tubular necrosis. (N/O) Densitometric analysis of caspase-3 and nitrotyrosine expression (arbitrary units, a.u.). Data represent the mean ± SD, N = 6/group. +p < 0.05, IR and IR + DEXA vs SHAM and IR + GAL-1. *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01 vs SHAM. One-way ANOVA or Kruskal-Wallis test.
