CTLA4-Ig Abatacept Ameliorates Proteinuria by Regulating Circulating Treg/IL-17 in Adriamycin-Induced Nephropathy Rats
Figure 1
AIN was induced by tail vein injection of adriamycin in rats. It is characterized by proteinuria (a), hypoalbuminemia (b), and hypercholesterolemia (c). Proteinuria was reduced using prednisone (d). Data are shown as , . vs. the Nor group. Nor: normal group; AIN: adriamycin-induced nephropathy group. HE staining showed glomerular morphology with minimal alterations ((d) original magnification ×100; (e) original magnification ×400); electron microscopy showed foot-process effacement ((g) original magnification ×2500; (f) original magnification ×12000).
