CD147 mRNA, whole cell and membrane protein expression in the kidney of female and male rats. [A] Fold-change in CD147 mRNA expression relative to proestrus females. [B] Whole cell CD147 protein expression in kidney with expression normalized to GAPDH expression. [C] CD147 membrane protein expression normalized to Na+/K+ ATPase expression. Data presented as mean ± SD. (n = 4–5 rats). *P < 0.05 as compared to CST males
