Alox15 expression in 5/6 Nx kidney at the protein level and localization of the mRNA of Alox15 in kidney tissues. a (upper) Representative immunoblots of ALOX15 of kidneys from sham-control and 5/6 nephrectomized (Nx) CKD mice. The band of ALOX15 was confirmed by the absence of ALOX15 band in Alox15−/− mice samples. (lower) Densitometry analysis of immunoblots. The ALOX15 in 5/6 Nx mouse kidneys was significantly increased compared with sham-control mouse kidneys (P = 0.0078). The number of samples is given at the bottom of the bar graph. Values are mean ± SEM. Unpaired Student’s t test, *P < 0.05. b in situ hybridization of kidneys from 5/6 Nx Alox15+/+ mice and 5/6 Nx Alox15−/− mice. In 5/6 Nx mouse kidneys, Alox15 mRNA was strongly expressed in the tubules, especially proximal tubules. The glomerulus had no mRNA expression of Alox15 (the blue border indicates a glomerulus)
