Renal histopathological staining of MRL/lpr mice by PASM. a Control mice show widening of the mesangial region, increased mesangial matrix, a mesangial cells proliferation degree of between 25-50 % and formation of cellular crescent. b LPS-induced mice show mesangial cells proliferation degree of more than 50 %, and inflammation. c MP-treated mice show mild mesangial matrix and mesangial cells proliferation. d SC-514-treated mice show increased mesangial matrix, a mesangial cells proliferation degree of between 25-50 %. e LPS + MP-treated mice show mild mesangial matrix and mesangial cells proliferation. f LPS + SC-treated mice show mesangial cells proliferation degree of more than 50 % (original magnification, ×400)
