Figure 6. Immunohistochemical staining reveals no evidence of MN transdifferentiation into cardiomyocytes.

Figure 6

(a) Representative figure with staining for (b–c) troponin I and DAPI. Although GFP-expressing MN can be found in the myocardium (arrow), there is no cell population with overlay of GFP, DAPI and troponin I to suggest transdifferentiation of MN to cardiomyocytes. (d) Representative figure with staining for (e–f) connexin 43 and DAPI. Although GFP-expressing MN can be found in the myocardium (arrow), there is no cell population with overlay of GFP, DAPI and connexin 43 to suggest transdifferentiation of MN to cardiomyocytes. Bars represent 50 µm.
