Figure 3. Morphological analysis of wild type and mutant hearts.

Figure 3

(A) Representative sections of hearts from the indicated mice stained with hematoxylin and eosin. (B) Left ventricle sections were stained with TRITC-conjugated wheat germ agglutinin. Cross-sectional areas (µm2, n = 10 for each heart) were (in parentheses) for 2 Ryr2+/+/AC3-C (67.9±2.3), 3 Ryr2+/+/AC3-I (66.8±2.8), 4 Ryr2ADA/ADA/AC3-C (96.0±3.0) and 4 Ryr2ADA/ADA/AC3-I (86.9±3.3) hearts. The significantly increased cross-sectional area in Ryr2ADA/ADA hearts compared to Ryr2+/+ hearts was not significantly altered by AC3-I compared to AC3-C using one way ANOVA. (C) Papillary muscle stained with Masson Trichrome. Arrows indicate collagen deposits.
