A panel of proteins selected for their potential involvement in AKI were analysed in the selected donor kidney biopsies by western blotting and included: peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PGC1a), mitofusin 1 and 2 (MFN1 and MFN2), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARg), heat shock protein (Hsp70), hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), glutathione S-transferase alfa (GSTa), transforming growth factor beta (TGFb), thioredoxin (TRX), peroxiredoxin (PRDX3), signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT1), dynamin-related protein (DRP1) and phospho-DRP1, platelet derived growth factor receptor (PDGFRa), motif chemokine receptor 1 (CX3CR1), gamma-glutamyltransferase (gGT), Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein (IGFBP), glutathione S-transferase (GSTp). Detailed methods can be found in the Supplementary Material.
