Figure 4.
Renal ischemia reperfusion injury (I/R) at 24 h induced more prominent neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in renal glomeruli of lupus prone mice. Characteristics of NETs in kidneys from Fcgr2b-/- mice or wild-type (Fcgr2b+/+) mice after renal ischemia reperfusion injury (I/R) as determined by immunofluorescent staining of citrullinated histone H3 (CitH3) at 24 h post-I/R (A) (n = 5–6/group) and IL-1β from renal tissue (B) (n = 5–6/time-point) with the representative immunofluorescent pictures of CitH3 (red) and 4’,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI, blue nuclear staining) at 24 h post-I/R (or sham) (original magnification 630x) (C) are demonstrated.
