Cardioprotective Effects of Osteopontin-1 during Development of Murine Ischemic Cardiomyopathy
Figure 2
Ischemic OPN−/−-hearts show different expression contractile elements. mRNA-expression of (a) -myosin heavy chain (-MHC), (b) -MHC, (c) skeletal actin, (d) cardiac actin, and (e) desmin in OPN−/−-mice compared to WT-mice during repetitive I/R. /group. RT-qPCR using Taqman and mRNA-expression is related to controls and GAPDH using comparative Ct-method. Bracket indicates between genotypes; indicates versus respective shams.
