Cardioprotection is mediated by an inhibition of apoptosis in vivo. (A) Specific DNA fragmentation was quantified after 1h-reperfusion. Injection of MLC901 (0.4, 4 and 40 µg/kg) was performed intravenously 5 minutes before the onset of reperfusion. Scatter dot blots and means ± SD were plotted for the ratio of internucleosomal DNA fragmentation measured in I versus NI regions of LV from IR or MLC901-treated mice. (B) Scatter dot blots and means ± SD were plotted for the ratio of internucleosomal DNA fragmentation measured in I versus NI regions of LV after 24h-reperfusion in mice not treated (IR24h) or treated by MLC901 (4 µg/kg). (CH) Western blot analysis of pJNK, JNK, pERK1/2, ERK1/2, pAkt and Akt was performed on LV from MLC901 treated versus non-treated IR mice. (C,E,G) Representative gel blots for LV protein extract were cropped from initial blots presented in Supplementary Figures S5, S6 and S7. Histograms (means ± SD) were plotted for (D) pJNK/JNK, (F) pERK1/2/ERK1/2 and (H) pAKT/AKT ratios for MLC901 (n = 7) versus IR (n = 7); Statistical analysis was performed using ANOVA with the Tukey’s post hoc test for multiple comparisons or using the Mann-Whitney test for comparison between two groups.
