Effect of silencing AR expression on miR-21 level and renal tubular cell apoptosis. (A) qPCR showing knocking down AR decreased AR mRNA level after renal ischemia-reperfusion injury in male mice. (B) Silencing AR decreased miR-21 level after renal ischemia-reperfusion injury. (C) Silencing AR increased PDCD4 mRNA level renal after ischemia-reperfusion injury. (D) Western blot showing knocking down AR increased cleaved caspase-3 and PDCD4 protein levels in renal tissue after renal ischemia-reperfusion. (E) Quantitative evaluation of PDCD4 protein levels in renal tissue. (F) Quantitative evaluation of cleaved caspase-3 protein levels in renal tissue. Data presented are mean ± SEM (n > 5). Compared with sham operation group, *p < 0.05. Compared with Control + IR group, #p < 0.05.
