PDGF-BB (PB) increased the number of PDGFR-β-positive pericytes and exacerbated vascular injury and renal fibrosis, attenuated by b-pEPCs. A. Scheme of PDGF-BB treatment in mice. B. Measurement of PDGFR-β by immunofluorescence staining in different group. C. Histopathology staining to evaluate the influence of PDGF-BB on tubular injury and renal fibrosis. D and E. Co-staining of PDGFR-β and CD31 to evaluate the vascular structure. Data are presented as the mean ± SD, n=3-5/group, *p<0.05, **p<0.01. Scale bar: 50 μm.
