The Overexpression of miR-377 Aggravates Sepsis-Induced Myocardial Hypertrophy by Binding to Rcan2 and Mediating CaN Activity
Figure 2
MiR-377 repression could ameliorate cardiomyocyte hypertrophy in septic mice induced by CLP. (a) LVPW, LVESD, EF, and FS detected by echocardiography and HW and LVW/BW measured by weighing, reflecting the successful establishment of a sepsis mouse model, wherein the sepsis was induced by CLP. (b) Myocardial damage of mice in each group, as detected by HE staining. (c) Myocardial tissue morphology of mice in each group, as observed by transmission electron microscope. (d) The expression of inflammatory factors in myocardial tissues of mice, as evaluated by ELISA assay. compared with sham-operated mice. # compared with the antagomir NC group. & compared with the antagomir NC group. Measurement data were represented as . One-way ANOVA with Tukey’s posthoc test was employed to analyze data of multiple groups. , mice in each group.
