HB-EGF gene deletion is associated with increased apoptosis in mice subjected to HS/R. HB-EGF KO and WT mice were subjected to hemorrhagic shock (MAP of 35 ± 5 mmHg) for 90 minutes followed by reperfusion for 1, 3 and 6 hours. Histologic sections of terminal ileum were subjected to TUNEL staining, positively stained enterocytes and total enterocytes in the villi and crypts were counted, and apoptosis indices calculated as the percent of positively stained enterocytes / 100 enterocytes. *p<0.05.
