Figure 2 Photomicrographs of mast cells within the kidney of subtotally nephrectomized rats. Chymase-positive mast cells (A) (arrows) localized to the cortical interstitium (magnification ×280). Serial sections showing an interstitial mast cell in close proximity to a vessel (*) demonstrating toluidine blue metachromasia (B), and positive immunostaining for tryptase (C) and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) (D) (magnification ×1020).

Figure 3 Serial sections showing (A) toluidine blue–stained mast cells (arrows) and (B) ED-1 immunopositive macrophages (arrows) localized to the interstitium and adjacent to a tubule (*) (magnification ×520).

Figure 4 Mast cell chemokines. Graphs showing gene expression of (A) stem cell factor (SCF), (B) interleukin-8 (IL-8/gro-α) and (C) transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) relative to the housekeeping gene 18S, as assessed by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Results are expressed in arbitrary units relative to sham, assigned a value of 1. *P < 0.01 vs. sham; †P < 0.01 vs. 12 weeks.
