UUO-induced vascular leak co-localizes with interstitial ATX. (a) Estimation of renal vascular permeability by extravasation of Evans Blue dye (EBD). Gross appearance of representative kidneys 10 days after UUO surgery and 30 min after Evans Blue injection. (b) Indices of Evans Blue leakage into non-ligated kidneys and ligated kidneys (n = 5 mice/group). Data are expressed as mean Evans Blue index ± SEM. (c,d) The leaked area of injected FITC-Dextran (500 kDa) in kidneys obtained 10 days after UUO (n = 5 mice/group). Data are expressed as mean ± SEM. (e) Co-localization of injected FITC-Dextran (green) and ATX (red) in kidneys. Representative tissue sections are shown (magnification x 200). Arrows indicate the intact blood vessels. Bars, 100 μm.
