Suppression of Excessive Histone Deacetylases Activity in Diabetic Hearts Attenuates Myocardial Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury via Mitochondria Apoptosis Pathway

Figure 8

Effect of HDAC inhibition on mitochondrial membrane potential and integrity of mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP). Representative fluorescent images and quantitative analysis in each group. (a) Red fluorescence represented JC-1 aggregation on the mitochondria membrane, reflecting the mitochondrial membrane potential (). Green emission of the dye represented the monomeric form of JC-1 after mitochondrial membrane depolarization. (b) Fluorescent images of the cells show the change in integrity of mPTP. Reduced fluorescence in cells indicate opening of mPTP. All values are presented as the mean ± SEM, /group. versus HGHR group. versus HGHR+TSA group.
