A Serum creatinine (Scr) and urea nitrogen (BUN) levels were measured in each group (n = 6). B Images of hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining (n = 6). Scale bars, 100 μm; Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase–mediated dUTP nick end-labelling (TUNEL) assay were used to evaluate the tubular apoptosis (n = 6). Scale bars, 50 μm. C The expression of ALDH2 and KIM-1 was measured by western blotting (n = 6). D The expression of mitochondria-related proteins (PGC-1α and ATP5a1) was measured by western blotting (n = 6). E ATP levels were assessed using an ATP Assay Kit (n = 6). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001; #P < 0.05, ##P < 0.01, ###P < 0.001, ####P < 0.0001; &P < 0.05, &&P < 0.01, &&&P < 0.001, &&&&P < 0.0001; ns not significant. (WT Con wild-type control, KO Con knockout control, WT Cis wild-type cisplatin, KO Cis knockout cisplatin).
