The Role of M2 Macrophages in the Progression of Chronic Kidney Disease following Acute Kidney Injury

TGF-β mRNA expression of M1 and M2 macrophages.
We used a FACs aria analysis to sort M1 and M2 macrophages and compared their TGF-β mRNA expression. The expression of TGF-β was about 2.5 fold higher in M2 macrophages than in M1 macrophages. (n = 4 per group), *p < 0.05 compared to F4/80+CD206- M1 macrophages.
