Expression and the quantitation of BCL2/adenovirus E1B 19 kDa protein-interacting protein 3 (BNIP3), cleaved-caspase-3 and caspase-3 in rat mesangial cells (RMCs) after being treated with bicalutamide (Bic) at 30 and 60 μM for 24 h. Total RMC lysates were loaded onto Western blots for analysis of BNIP3, caspase-3, cleaved caspase-3 and β-actin. β-actin served as the internal control. (a) Western blot of BNIP3 and cleaved caspase-3. (b) Bar diagram of BNIP3. (c) Bar diagram of cleaved caspase-3. (d) Bar diagram of caspase-3. Cleaved caspase 3 was significantly upregulated at 24 h after treatment. In contrast, caspase-3 was unaffectd (d). Data were obtained from triplicate determinations and results are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01 compared to the control.
