    <p>(<b>A</b>) Scheme of the reconstructed microenvironment and workflow analysis of the cisplatin-injured proximal tubular epithelial cells HKC-8 cells and of the WS-1 dermal fibroblasts. (<b>B</b>) Cell viability and (<b>C</b>) apoptosis analysis. Cisplatin-treated proximal tubular epithelial cells HKC-8 cells showed decreased cell viability and increased apoptosis. (<b>D</b>). Cell cycle analysis showed that HKC-8 cells treated with cisplatin high dose (40 µM) were blocked in G2/M phase at 24, 48 and 72 h, whereas cells treated with the low dose (20 µM) reverted at 72 h to a condition similar to control. Cytokine release analysis with (<b>E</b>) IL-6 and (<b>F</b>) RANTES levels. Cisplatin-treated HKC-8 cells produced increased amounts of IL-6 and RANTES. (<b>G</b>) Gene-level analysis results for selected genes showing a stronger response to Ciplatin high dose (CisHigh) than to Ciplatin low dose (CisLow). Expression levels on a logarithmic scale are shown as a heat map: no detectable expression is indicated by black color, increasing expression levels are indicated by brighter shades of yellow. Note that several genes show up twice in the figure because they are represented by multiple probes on the Illumina chip. While the measured values do not necessarily agree, the overall trend of up-regulation is the same. (<b>H</b>) Gene-level analysis was complemented by a network-level approach using Gene Set Enrichment Analysis against the Pathway Commons collection of gene regulatory networks (<a href="http://www.pathwaycommons.org" target="_blank">www.pathwaycommons.org</a>). Cisplatin treated cells (L: low, H: high) were compared to controls (C), and renal clear cell carcinoma (RCC) cells were compared to “normal adjacent” tissue (GEO accession number GSE781; as this data set is based on a different expression array technology, we did not compare expression levels of individual genes for this analysis). The heat map shows FDR-corrected q values on a logarithmic scale for up-regulated (red shades) and down-regulated networks (green shades), black indicating no change. An FDR-corrected q value of 0.01 corresponds to an absolute score of 4.6 on this scale. Please, note that the RCC dataset (last column) does not imply any involvement of the networks shown here. (<b>I–L</b>) RT-PCR analysis and mRNA levels of the (<b>I</b>) <i>Acta2</i> gene (encoding alpha smooth muscle actin) (<b>J</b>) <i>TGF-b1</i>gene (encoding transforming growth factor beta 1), (<b>K</b>) <i>COL1A1</i> gene (encoding collagen-1α1) and (<b>L</b>) ID-1 gene (encoding Inhibitor of differentiation 1). Retrieved WS-1 dermal fibroblasts showed increased level for key fibrotic markers α-SMA, TGF-β1 and Collagen 1α1 and decreased level of ID-1 when epithelial cells HK-C8 cells were layered on top. Gene expression profile for the same gene in absence of HK-C8 cells can be found in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0056575#pone.0056575.s002" target="_blank">Figure S2B</a>-E. n.s. = not statistically different, * = p<0.05, ** = p<0.001.</p
