Figure 2: Expression of E-cadherin in kidney frozen sections and tissues.

Figure 2

The localization of E-cadherin in frozen sections was determined by immunofluorescencestaining (IF) (400×) with E-cadherin antibody (red) in sham group (a); blue represents the nucleus. The expression of E-cadherin was distributed abnormally and reduced in renal tissue of RM(rhabdomyolysis) (b) and RM + BM(biological membrane) mice (c). Biological membrane-packed mesenchymal stem cells on the renal tissue appear to be better preserved (d). (e) Quantitative analysis of staining intensity showed a higher expression of E-cadherin in RM + BM + MSCs group compared with RM and RM + BM groups. Note: *p < 0.05 versus the sham group, #p < 0.05 versus the RM group, n = 6.
