These changes were associated with higher fibronectin mRNA expression and alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA) and integrin-linked kinase (ILK) immunostaining and lower apoptotic tubulointerstitial cells in the mouse obstructed kidney than in control littermates.

Furthermore, inhibition of the integrin-linked kinase (ILK), a downstream effector of beta1 integrin, or disruption of beta1 integrin/ILK engagement, abrogated the tPA action, whereas ectopic expression of ILK mimicked tPA in promoting myofibroblast activation.

The expression of a-smooth muscle actin (a-SMA) and E-cadherin were detected using a two-color immunohistochemistry staining technique, while the expression of integrin-linked kinase (ILK) was detected using a one-color immunohistochemistry staining technique.
