Fig. 5From: Yi Qi Qing Re Gao formula ameliorates puromycin aminonucleoside-induced nephrosis by suppressing inflammation and apoptosisEffect of YQQRG treatment on expression of TNF-α in the kidney. Expression of TNF-α protein was determined by immunohistochemistry staining and relative semi-quantified assay (A). Transcription level of TNF-α was examined by real-time PCR at 10 days (B) and 15 days (C) after injection of PAN. Rats in the PAN + YQ group received a daily oral gavage of YQQRG. Rats in the sham and PNA groups received the same volume of vehicle (distilled water). 10D, 10 days after PAN injection; 15D, 15 days after PAN injection. Data are presented as mean ± SD values for each group of 3 animals. *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01 compared to sham group, respectively. #P < 0.05 and ##P < 0.01 compared with PAN group, respectively.
