Effect of Thrombolysis on Circulating Microparticles in Patients with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction

Figure 2

Effects of MPs from STEMI patients with or without thrombolysis on eNOS and iNOS expressions, as determined by immunohistochemistry. (a) Compared with those in the controls, MPs from CCS patients and STEMI patients before thrombolysis (pre-T) decreased the expression of eNOS in rat hearts. MPs from STEMI patients 2 hours after thrombolysis (post-T) further decreased the expression of eNOS in rat hearts. (b) Compared with those in the controls, MPs from both CCS patients and STEMI patients before thrombolysis (pre-T) increased the expression of iNOS in rat hearts. MPs from STEMI patients 2 hours after thrombolysis (post-T) further increased the expression of iNOS in rat hearts. The data are ; vs. control; # vs. CCS; λ vs. pre-T, .
(a) eNOS (200x)
(b) iNOS (200x)
