AMB deformations induce HKC damage. Immunofluorescence, RT-PCR, and Western blot were performed to evaluate the cytotoxicity on HKC cells treated with free AMB and CDA-AMB-NPs at 10.0 μM for 48 h. a Immunofluorescence staining with anti-KIM-1 and NGAL antibody. KIM-1 was stained with red and NGAL was stained with green. b KIM-1 and NGAL mRNA levels were analyzed by RT-PCR. c, d KIM-1 and NGAL protein levels were analyzed by Western blot. Data are shown as mean ± S.E.M. *p < 0.01, compared with the free AMB group
