Fluorescent immunohistochemistry of α-smooth-muscle-actin (red) regarding (A) tubular and (B) glomerular injury in kidney cross-sections of transplanted mice (vehicle or VT-treated) on day 28 after transplantation. Autofluorescence is shown in green. Images are exemplary for n = 5/condition; C: Sirius red staining for the same conditions (D) Immunoblot of murine kidney homogenates for pSMAD3 in healthy (day 0) and kidney transplanted mice (day 28) upon vehicle or VT treatment. VT: Vasculotide; αSMA: α-smooth-muscle-actin; GAPDH: Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase.
