Histological evaluation of the renal tissue 24 h after RIRI and the Scr, BUN levels (). (a) Representative kidney tissues stained with H&E (scale bar 50 μm), arrows indicate tubular dilatation, swelling, congestion, vacuolization, and tubular necrosis in the kidneys. (b) Histologic score of the kidney tissues. (c) Scr levels of each group. (d) BUN levels of each group (A represents values compared to the sham group, ; B represents values compared to the IRI group, ; C represents values compared to the AAV9-PPARγ+IRI group, ; D represents values compared to the premiR-21+IRI group, ; E represents values compared to the antagomiR-21+IRI group, ).
