Diaph1 deletion reduced myocardial I/R injury. (a) Diaph1 deletion decreased infarct area (% of area at risk) in mouse hearts after LAD/reperfusion vs. WT (n = 10/group; *p < 0.05 vs. WT LAD) while (b) maintaining area at risk. (c) Diaph1 deletion improved fractional shortening after LAD/reperfusion (n = 10/group; *p < 0.05 vs. WT LAD). (d) Diaph1 deletion improved ejection fraction after LAD/reperfusion (n = 10/group; *p < 0.05 vs. WT LAD) (e) Left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP) recovery was improved in hearts isolated from Diaph1–/– mice compared to WT after ex vivo I/R (n = 6/group; *p < 0.05 vs. WT I/R). (f) LDH release was reduced in shDiaph1 cells after H/R compared to shScr (n = 15–16/group; *p < 0.05 vs. shScr H/R). Unpaired two-tailed t-tests were used; a p-value < 0.05 was considered significant.
