Immunofluorescence staining was performed with routine protocol [72 (link)]. Frozen kidney sections (3 μm) were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde. All primary antibodies used were as follows: anti-TOMM20 (ab186735; Abcam), anti-Sirtuin 6 (PB0375; Boster), anti-PGC-1α (ab54481; Abcam). Then the slides were stained with Cy3-or Cy2-conjugated secondary antibodies (Jackson Immuno-Research Laboratories, West Grove, PA, United States). Nuclei were treated with DAPI (Sigma-Aldrich) under the manufacturer’s specifications.
