(a) Left-ventricular, (b) right-ventricular, and (c) septal myocardial samples immunostained against pan-cadherin. The localization of expression is predominantly at the end-to-end junctions of the myocytes. Scale bar = 100 μm. (d) Cadherin stained region of cardiac tissue including the RVA and some tissue peripheral to the RVA. (e) Plakoglobin stained region of cardiac tissue including the RVA and some tissue peripheral to the RVA. The upper-middle region, representing the RVA, exhibits weaker staining and less organization of intercalated disks. Scale bar = 250 μm. (f) Quantification of plakoglobin (JUP) and pan-cadherin (PC) signal intensity in non-apical (N) and apical (A) regions of the right ventricle. **p ≤ 0.01.
