SLC40A1 and Steap4 were up-regulated in the ischemic area at initial phase of MI. (A) Expression of Slc40a1 and Steap4 mRNA in the heart following MI at various time points or sham surgery was analyzed by qPCR (n = 4). (B) Slc40a1 and Steap4 proteins expression in hearts subjected to MI at various time points or sham surgery using Western blotting (n = 4). (C) Heart and serum iron levels were measured after MI and sham surgery (n = 4). (D) Immunohistochemistry of SLC40A1 and Steap4 was quantified and representative images were obtained from both sham-operated and MI mice (n = 4), including the non-infarct area (NIA) and infarct area (IA). The data is presented as the mean value plus or minus the standard error of the mean. Statistical significance is denoted by *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01.
