Interleukin-1 receptor type 1 (IL-1R1) stimulation ameliorates adriamycin (ADR)-induced podocyte apoptosis in vitro. A: Western blots for cleaved caspase-3 from cultured podocytes. B: semiquantitative analysis for cleaved caspase 3 from A (n = 3). C: representative images showing TUNEL staining in the different groups. D: quantitative determination of TUNEL-positive cells (n = 3). P values in B and D were analyzed by one-way ANOVA followed by a Student–Newman–Keuls test. *P < 0.05 vs. vehicle (Veh) controls; #P < 0.05 vs. ADR alone. Scale bar = 20 µm.
