Gene | HT | HT + ANG |
---|---|---|
TNF-α | 1.0 ± 0.25 | 0.40 ± 0.14 |
MCP-1 | 1.0 ± 0.13 | 0.45 ± 0.11* |
Endothelin-1 | 1.0 ± 0.15 | 0.56 ± 0.04* |

Results are expressed as means ± SE; n = 3 mice/group. RT-PCR data are shown as mean relative fold changes in the whole kidney. Assays for dynactin were run in parallel and used for normalization of each sample. ANG, angiotensin II; HT, hypertensive T cells; TNF-α, tumor necrosis factor-α; MCP-1, macrophage chemoattractant protein-1; GPER-1, G protein-coupled estrogen receptor-1; OPN, osteopontin. *P < 0.05 vs. control via an unpaired Student’s t test.
