Fig. 8: Specific knockdown of lncRNA Meg3 in podocytes alleviated Drp1 and its phosphorylation of Ser600 in podocyte from in STZ-induced diabetic mice.

a LncRNA Meg3 expression in primary podocytes isolated from mice kidneys. b Synaptopodin mRNA expression in primary podocytes isolated from mice kidneys. c Nephrin mRNA expression in primary podocytes isolated from mice kidneys. d Drp1 mRNA expression in primary podocytes isolated from mice kidneys. e Immunofluorescence staining for pDrp1 (Ser600) (green) and Synaptopodin (red) in the paraffin-embedded kidney sections was performed (original magnification, ×630, scale bar, 20 μm). Data were shown as mean ± SD in all statistical graphs (n = 6 mice per group). **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, and ****P < 0.0001.
