Fig. 3From: Tumor necrosis factor superfamily ligand mRNA expression profiles differ between humans and mice during homeostasis and between various murine kidney injuriesTNFSF ligands mRNA expressions in murine ischemic renal injury. IRI was induced in C57Bl6 mice as described in methods. a Representative images of renal sections stained with PAS or for F4/80 and CD3. Original magnification: ×100. The tubular injury, as well as F4/80 and CD3 positive area per hpf, were quantified. Data represents mean ± s.e.m. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, *p < 0.001. b Quantitative RTPCR was performed on cDNAs derived from the injured kidneys. The mRNA expression levels were normalised to 18 s rRNA expression level. The heatmap represents the relative expression of mRNA levels at day 1, 5 and 10 versus control. c The statistical analysis of TNFSF ligands mRNA expression levels in the injured kidneys at day 1, 5 and 10 versus control kidneys is represented using volcano graphs. P < 0.05 is considered statistically significant. Dotted line represent p = 0.05Back to article page
