A, B Alizarin Red S staining and V-K staining of arteries obtained from dialysis patients (scale bar = 200 μm). C TUNEL staining was used to detect apoptosis of arteries in dialysis patients (scale bar = 200 μm). D RT-qPCR was used to detect the expression of miR-381-3p in arteries obtained from dialysis patients, *P < 0.05. E The NFAT5 expression of arteries in dialysis patients was detected by immunohistochemistry (scale bar = 200 μm). Positive staining, indicated with arrows, denotes the region of calcification or apoptosis in the arteries.
