Expression of podocyte differentiation markers in vivo.

<p>Glomeruli were isolated from both WT and Tg26 mice treated with vehicle or BD4 for 6 weeks. Total RNA was isolated from the glomeruli for real-time PCR analysis for the podocyte differentiation markers including synaptopodin, nephrin, and WT-1 (<b>A</b>) as well as for RARα and RARβ (<b>B</b>). The ratio of these genes normalized to GAPDH was calculated. n = 6, *p<0.01 compared to vehicle-treated WT mice (WT-vehicle), **p<0.05 compared to vehicle-treated Tg26 mice (Tg26-vehicle), ***p<0.05 compared to vehicle-treated WT mice (WT-vehicle).
