(b) Densitometry of five replicate Western blots for cell lysates, and three replicate Western blots for nuclear extracts (*P<0.05, **P<0.01). (c) RT-PCR on podocyte RNA using primers for glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and control ‘housekeeping’ gene (GAPDH) (representative of three replicate experiments).

Figure 2 Effects of dexamethasone on the expression of nephrin in human podocytes. (a–c) Effect of incubation with dexamethasone on expression of nephrin in human podocytes by immunofluorescence with rabbit polyclonal antibody K2966 (all pictures taken at identical exposure settings, green staining indicates nephrin protein present). (a) Incubation in standard culture medium, without dexamethasone for 14 days with medium changed on alternate days. (b) Incubation with standard medium plus 10−5M dexamethasone for 14 days with medium changed on alternate days. (c) Negative control immunofluorescence on podocytes incubated with standard medium plus 10−5M dexamethasone for 14 days with medium changed on alternate days, using rabbit Ig instead of primary antibody. (d) Western blot on podocyte whole-cell lysate using rabbit polyclonal anti-nephrin antibody K2737 (representative of five replicate experiments). (e) Densitometric quantification of three replicate Western blots, expressed as nephrin/actin ratio (mean±s.e.m.). Mean ratio for 0:10−7:10−5M=1:1.33:1.618 (*P<0.05). (f) RT-PCR on podocyte RNA using primers for nephrin and ‘housekeeping’ gene GAPDH (representative of five replicate experiments).
