Figure 6. Changes in renal TEC apoptosis following contrast exposure with or without rapamycin.

Figure 6

Renal TEC apoptosis in group Con (Con), group CI-AKI (CI-AKI), group Rap1 (Rap1) and group Rap2 (Rap2). Descriptions of the groups are in the text. Contrast exposure induced significantly increased apoptosis in renal TEC (group CI-AKI). Rapamycin obviously and dose-dependently alleviated contrast-induced renal tubular apoptosis (group Rap1, group Rap2). (TUNEL; magnification: ×400). Columns showed the apoptotic index in rats of group Con (Con), group CI-AKI (CI-AKI), group Rap1 (Rap1), and group Rap2 (Rap2). *P<0.05 compared with Con; #P<0.05 compared with CI-AKI; &P<0.05 compared with Rap1. Each group (n=6).
