Figure 4. ONO-1301 treatment improved the cardiac performance and survival rate after MI.
Survival rates after treatment. The ONO-1301-treated (O) group (n = 33) showed significantly better survival than the vehicle (V) group (n = 48). *P<0.05 vs. V group. A) Evaluation of cardiac performance 4 weeks after treatment. In the O group, the LVESA was smaller, and the FAC was significantly higher compared to the V group (O group, n = 22; V group, n = 20; *P<0.05 vs. V group). B) Representative macro images from each group. C) Quantification of anterior wall thickness. Anterior wall thickness was significantly thicker in the O group (n = 6) compared to the V group (n = 4). *P<0.05 vs. V group. D) Quantification of percent infarction. Infarction was significantly smaller in the O group (n = 6) compared to the V group (n = 4). *P<0.05 vs. V group. E) Representative Masson trichrome staining images at the border zone. F) Quantification of fibrosis. Fibrosis at the border zone was significantly smaller in the O group (n = 6) compared to the V group (n = 4). *P<0.05 vs. V group.
