Effect of VHH-0031 on JAK2-STAT3 signaling pathway in STZ-induced rats kidney. The mRNA expression of IL-6 (A), JAK2 (B), STAT3 (C),TNF-α (D) and TGF-β1 (E) in kidney determined by qRT-PCR (F) The expression of JAK2 and STAT3 staining measured by immunohistochemistry in kidney,Bar = 100 μm ( ×400). Quantification of JAK2 (G) and STAT3 (H) protein measured by immunohistochemical staining. Data represents the mean ± SD for six rats per group. Control: SD rats without STZ treatment, Model: SD rats with STZ treatment, Benazepril 10 mg kg−1: SD rats with STZ treatment in presence of benazepril (10 mg kg−1), VHH-0031 0.1 and 0.5 mg kg−1: SD rats with STZ treatment in presence of the recombinant anti-IL-6R fusion proteins (0.1 and 0.5 mg kg−1). **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 vs control group, # p < 0.05, ## p < 0.01, ### p < 0.001 vs model group.
