PRKAAS496D overexpression attenuates crizotinib-induced cardiotoxicity. AAV9-TNNT2-vector, AAV9-TNNT2-PRKAAS496D or AAV9-TNNT2-PRKAAT183D virus was injected into C57BL/6J mice (n = 10). Three weeks after injection, mice were then intragastrically administrated with vehicle or 100 mg/kg crizotinib for another 6 weeks. (A-C) the left ventricular function of mice was measured by echocardiography. (D) heart weight to tibia length ratio (HW: TL). (E) serum was analyzed for CKMB level. n = 5. (F) H&E staining. Scale bar: 40 μm. (G) the gene expression levels relative to Actb in the indicated groups. n ≥ 4. (H, I) Representative Sirius red-stained (upper) and Masson-stained (lower) cardiac sections. Scale bar: 40 μm. (J) TEM observation of the left ventricle from C57BL/6J mice shown in A. (K) the mt-Atp6: Rpl13 ratio was measured as a relative mtDNA level. n = 5. Data were presented as mean ± SD. The P value was calculated by one-way ANOVA with Sidak’s tests (B to D, F, G and K). ****, P < 0.001; ***, P < 0.001; **, P < 0.01; *, P < 0.05; ns, no significance. Crizo: crizotinib.
