FHL2 ablation prevents hypertension induced Rac1 activation and podocyte FP effacement in vivo. Panel a: Protein expression of Rac1 and FHL2 in mouse glomeruli. Panel b and c: Quantification of FHL2 and active-Rac1. Panel d: Scanning and transmission electron microscopy examination of the mouse glomeruli, the interdigitating podocyte foot process became widened and flattened in hypertensive WT mice (arrows), and FHL2 knockout prevented mice from these podocyte ultrastructure changes. Panel e: Quantification of foot process effacement. n = 6~7 each group. **p < 0.01.
