FIG. 2.

(A) Morphometric data at 2 dpi and 2 and 5 wpi with treatment of miR-239B (control) or miR-29B. Asterisk (*) indicates a statistically significant improvement in EF. # Indicates a statistically significant deterioration in the cardiac function of animals treated with miR-239B when compared to the initial measurement at 2 days post infarction (p < 0.05). (B) Quantification of scar area as a percentage of the total tissue cross section. No significant difference was detected between miR-239B and miR-29B at 5 weeks post ischemia. Picrosirius red/fast green-stained sections of hearts treated with (C) miR-239B and (D) miR-29B. Scale bar: 2 mm. Red staining in the ventricular tissue represents fibrotic ischemic scar tissue at 5 weeks. dpi, days postinfarction; EF, ejection fraction; wpi, weeks postinfarction.
