The expression of CD151 protein was detected in four different groups. (A) Western blot showed the protein expression of CD151 and β-actin in the hearts of different groups. β-actin was used as an internal loading control. (B) Quantitative results of CD151 protein expression. Results showed great increase in rAAV-CD151 group, but marked decrease in rAAV- antiCD151 group. bP<0.05 vs Control and rAAV-GFP groups. eP<0.05 vs rAAV-CD151 group. Data are as mean±SEM (n=4). (C) Sections of each group were immunostained for CD151. A representative section showed strong staining (brown) for CD151 in the rAAV-CD151 group. Faint staining was observed in the rAAV-antiCD151 group. (magnification×200) 1, Control group; 2, rAAV-GFP group; 3, rAAV-CD151 group; 4, rAAV-antiCD151 group.
