p62/Sqptm1 accumulation and electron microscopy in the kidney. (a) Representative immunoblots of p62/sequestosome 1 (Sqptm1) in protein extracts from the kidneys from rats of each group. Actin was loaded as an internal control. Data are means ± SD ( , # versus other groups). (b) Quantitative analysis of p62/Sqptm1expression. Data are means ± SD ( , # versus other groups). (c) Representative micrographs of proximal tubular cells from the, four groups of rats. Scale bar = 1 μm ( ).
