Figure 2. Empagliflozin suppressed the mesenchymal phenotypes in the proximal tubules in diabetic mice.
(A–H) EMT analysis. E-cadherin–positive/αSMA-positive cells (A–D) and E-cadherin–positive/vimentin-positive cells (E–H) were recognized as cells undergoing the EMT. For each group of mice. n = 5. Scale bar: 50 μm. (I–P) Immunofluorescence for aminopeptidase A/αSMA and uromodulin/αSMA in kidney sections. Deparaffinized sections were analyzed from each group of mice. n = 5. Scale bar: 50 μm. Empa, empagliflozin.
