1. Morphologic changes induced in immortalized human podocytes after treatment with TGF-β1 (10 ng/mL, right) for 3 days when compared with control cells (left), as shown by scanning electron microscopy (A and B, magnification 100×, insert showing microvilli), light microscopy (C and D, magnification 100×), immunofluorescence staining for β-actin (green) and nestin (red) (E and F), and immunofluorescence staining for F-actin (red) and ZO-1 (green) with a blue nuclear counterstain (DAPI) (G and H).
