Fig. 10From: Angiopoietin 1 influences ischemic reperfusion renal injury via modulating endothelium survival and regenerationa Growth factor genes expression in the whole kidney. The mRNA expression of EGF, HGF and IGF-1 was higher in the over-expression mice. There was no difference of PDGF-A and PDGF-B genes expression between the over-expression and control mice. (N = 8 per group) b Apoptotic tubular cells revealed by TUNNEL staining in the kidneys. There were more apoptotic tubular cells in the control than the over-expression mice. Arrow indicates apoptotic cell. c Semi-quantitative analysis of the apoptotic cells (N = 6 per group)Back to article page
