Activation and differentiation markers in muscle regeneration. Densitometric analysis of Pax7 (A), Myf5 (C), MyoD (D), Myogenin (F), pSTAT3 (G) and pSTAT1 (H) protein expression levels in gastrocnemius. Data are normalized to endogenous control (α-tubulin) and expressed as arbitrary units (A.U.). Representative cropped blots of two animals of each group are shown, control and AiA, respectively. Full length blots are presented in Supplementary Figures 1 and 2. Data represent individual values and medians with IQRs are also indicated (n = 6 rabbits per group). Representative TA cross sections with Pax7 (B) and MyoD (E) immunoreactive nuclei (black arrows) in control (left) and AiA (right) groups. Scale bar = 25 μm. Pax7 = paired box protein 7, Myf5 = myogenic factor 5, MyoD = myogenic differentiation 1, pSTAT = phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription.
