QYYY promoted HIF-1α, PKM2, metabolic markers, renal inflammation and fibrosis in vivo. (A) Effects of QYYY on protein expression of HIF-1α, PKM2, GLUT1, LDH-A, and IL-6 in SHR were examined using western blotting. (B) Effects of QYYY on changes of ATP, pyruvate and lactate using kits. (C) Effects of QYYY on mRNA levels of HIF-1α, PKM2, CTGF, TGF-β1 and TNF-α in SHR were examined using qPCR. (D) Effects of QYYY on protein level of HIF-1α in SHR were examined by immunohistochemistry. (E) Effects of QYYY on protein level of PKM2 in SHR were examined by immunohistochemistry. (F) Effects of QYYY on nuclear and cytoplasmic protein expression of HIF-1α, PKM2 in SHR were examined using western blotting. * p < 0.05 and ** p < 0.01 as compared with the control group. # p < 0.05 and ## p < 0.01 as compared with the model group.
