Analysis of expression of fibrosis-related genes in the ischemic kidney. UIRI was performed for 21 min at 36 °C, n = 8 in the untreated group, n = 10 in sham, dexamethasone and vehicle treatment groups. Animals were euthanized after treatment (3 weeks after UIRI) and 3 weeks after treatment (6 weeks after UIRI). a: Tgfβ gene expression (qPCR). b: Ccn2 (Ctgf) gene-expression (qPCR). c: Pai-1 gene expression (qPCR). d: Ccn3 gene expression (qPCR). °: p < 0.05 vs. Sham, *: p < 0.05
