Analysis of (pro)renin receptor (PRR)/soluble (pro)renin receptor (sPRR) expression. A: quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis of PRR in the renal cortex. The expression was normalized by β-actin. B: immunoblotting analysis of full-length PRR and sPRR in the renal cortex. Shown are representative blots with densitometry data. β-Actin was used as an internal control. C: ELISA analysis of urinary sPRR excretion. D: ELISA analysis of plasma sPRR. Data are means ± SE; n = 6/group. *P < 0.05 vs. control (CTR).
