From: Changes in the gene expression programs of renal mesangial cells during diabetic nephropathy
Immunostaining for validation of gene expression differences in db/db glomeruli. Protein levels were examined in C (control) kidneys, panels A, C, E, G, I and K, as well as DN (diabetic nephropathy) kidneys, panels B, D, F, H, J and L. Elevated glomerular expression was observed in each case, as predicted by the microarray results. In addition, note the increased Collagen12a1 expression in the db/db tubules (panels G and H).
