Histology of eNOS −/−:VEGFKD kidneys reveals diffuse glomerulosclerosis and mimics advanced DKD: PAS stain representative images: (A) eNOS−/−:VEGFKD − dox glomeruli are normal by light microscopy; (B) eNOS−/−:VEGFKD + dox glomeruli show microaneurisms (1-2, black arrowheads), mesangiolysis (3,5,6, white arrowheads), mesangial expansion (Papapetropoulos et al., 1997; Shen et al., 1999; Reidy et al., 2014; Tuttle et al., 2014), severe mesangial sclerosis (4-6, black asterisks), proteinaceous tubular casts (4-6, white asterisks) and lymphocytic infiltrates (5–6, yellow arrowheads); Scale bars = 50 μm (A, B1-3) and 100 μm (B4-6); PAS: Periodic acid-Schiff stain.
