Fig. 3. EMT and p53–p21-mediated cell cycle arrest progresses in a time-dependent manner in UUO model.
A H&E, Masson trichrome, and Sirius red staining of sham, UUO at 3, 6, and 10 days. Scale bar = 100 μm. B Quantitative tubular injury scores of different groups assessed according to H&E staining. C Quantification of Masson trichrome and Sirius staining in different groups. D Immunohistochemistry staining of α-SMA, p53, p21, and Ki-67 in different groups and E their quantifications. Scale bar = 100 μm for α-SMA and scale bar = 50 μm for p53, p21, and Ki-67. **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001 compared with sham group.
