I-I-BET151 suppresses the activation of NF-κB and expression of proinflammatory cytokines/chemokines and infiltration of mononuclear cells in the kidney of HN rats (A) Kidney tissue lysates were subjected to immunoblot analysis with specific antibodies against p-NF-κB (p65), NF-κB (p65), or GAPDH. (B) Expression levels of p-NF-κB (p65) were quantified by densitometry and normalized to NF-κB (p65). Protein levels of (C) MCP-1, (D) RANTES, (E) TNF-α, and (F) IL-1β were measured by the ELISA. (G) Photomicrographs (original magnification, ×400) illustrate immunohistochemical staining of CD68 in kidney tissues. (H) CD68 staining graphic presentation of quantitative data. Data are represented as the mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05 vs. sham group and sham + I-BET151 group. **p < 0.05 vs. HN group.
