Effect of PA on E-cadherin and α-SMA expression in UUO mice. (a) Immunoblot results show the effects of PA on the inhibition of UUO-induced changes in EMT markers, including E-cadherin and α-SMA. β-Actin was used to confirm equal sample loading. (b) Immunofluorescence double staining for E-cadherin (green) and α-SMA (red) localization. Cells were counterstained with Hoechst 33342 (blue). Scale bar 100 μm. The data are representative of three independent experiments and quantified as mean values ± SEM. Tukey’s multiple comparison test, * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001 compared to control.
