Fig. 2. Inflammatory responses in TAC-operated Pla2g6−/− hearts.

Fig. 2

The Pla2g6+/+ and Pla2g6–/– mice were subjected to transverse aortic constriction (TAC) and then analyzed 5 days after the operation. a Representative images of immunohistochemical analysis of CD45, CD68, Ly6G/6C and CD3. Scale bar, 100 μm. The graphs show quantitative analysis of each infiltrating inflammatory cell type (n = 5, biologically independent samples. Sham Pla2g6+/+ versus TAC Pla2g6+/+ in CD45-positive cells/LV area P = 0.00007). LV area, left ventricular area. b Expression levels of mRNAs related to inflammatory responses. The levels of mRNA were analyzed 5 days after the operation (n = 6, biologically independent samples). Data were normalized to the Gapdh content and are expressed as the fold increase over the levels in the sham-operated Pla2g6+/+ group. Open and closed bars indicate Pla2g6+/+ and Pla2g6−/−, respectively. Data are expressed as the mean ± SEM. The data were evaluated by one-way ANOVA, followed by Tukey-Kramer’s post-hoc test. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
