The transfection efficiency of IMD by ultrasound-mediated gene delivery into the kidney and by FuGENE HD into NRK-52E cells. a IMD mRNA expression measured by quantitative RT-PCR in the obstructed kidney of UUO rats. b Representative IMD protein expression measured by Western blot in the obstructed kidney of UUO rats. c Densitometric quantifications of band intensities from Western blot for IMD/β-actin in the obstructed kidney of UUO rats. d IMD mRNA expression measured by quantitative RT-PCR in NRK-52E cells. e Representative IMD protein expression measured by Western blot in NRK-52E cells. f Densitometric quantifications of band intensities from Western blot for IMD/β-actin in NRK-52E cells. Data in bar graphs are means ± SD, n = 6. ∗ P < 0.05 vs. empty vector group
