Hirudin inhibited the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway in UUO kidneys. (A) Effect of hirudin on PI3K in UUO kidney tissues, as determined by immunohistochemical staining. (magnification ×400) (B) Hirudin reduced the PI3K positive expression area in UUO kidneys, according to the results of immunohistochemical staining. (C) Effect of hirudin on p-Akt and mTOR in UUO kidney tissues, as determined by Western blot. (D) Effect of hirudin on p-Akt and mTOR in UUO kidney tissues, according to the results of Western blot. (E) Effect of hirudin on PI3K, p-Akt and mTOR in UUO kidney tissues, according to the results of RT-qPCR. Data are expressed as mean ± SD for six rats per group. ∗∗ indicates p < 0.01and indicates p < 0.05.
