Effect of Klotho-Carrying EVs and Recombinant Klotho
(A) Creatinine and BUN levels and number of tubular hyaline casts and tubular necrosis in AKI mice treated with saline (vehicle), uEVs, HK2 EVs (n = 6), and recombinant Klotho (rhKL) (n = 4) at day 3 after damage. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM; ANOVA with Dunnett’s multicomparison test was performed: *p < 0.05 or **p < 0.001 versus vehicle. (B) Representative micrographs of H&E of renal tissue from AKI mice treated with vehicle, uEVs, HK2 EVs, and recombinant Klotho (rhKL) at day 3 after damage. Original magnification ×200.
