A Scheme. mice were treated with GAP26 by i.p. injection after UUO surgery. B RT-qPCR. Levels of mRNA encoding α-SMA, Fibronectin by RT-qPCR. C PAS and immunofluorescence staining. PAS staining was performed to evaluate renal tubular injury by calculating tubules about GAP26. α-SMA is a marker of myofibroblast. Corresponding graphs indicate the expression of α-SMA for evaluation of myofibroblast infiltration. Data are presented as the mean ± SEM, n = 4–7/group, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001; Scale bar: 100 μm.
