Immunostaining of FGF23 in the diabetic mouse kidney with Pg-LPS-induced nephropathy. Hematoxylin-Eosin staining (HE) (left column); immunostaining for FGF23 (red) (center column); and merged immunostaining for FGF23 and podoplanin (green) (right column), with DAPI staining of nuclei (blue). The glomerular epithelial cells were immunostained by anti-podoplanin to be able to discriminate glomeruli (arrows). Reaction with anti-FGF23 was not identified in LPS-ICR (top row) or in STZ-ICR (middle row) while the reaction was identified in the whole renal parenchyma (arrowheads) and glomeruli (yellow arrowhead) in LPS-STZ (bottom row). Bars: 100 μm
