Treatment with FIPI shows no alterations in cell apoptosis after I/R. (A) Analysis of quantitative RT-PCR shows no differences in the expression of the cell apoptosis markers Bax, Bcl-xl, and Bcl-2 in the left ventricle (LV) of FIPI-treated mice (3 mg/kg bodyweight in 4% DMSO/PBS) vs. control mice 24 h post MI (control n = 5, FIPI n = 6). (B) Number of caspase-3 positive cells in the infarct border zone is not different between FIPI-treated vs. control mice 21 days post MI (control n = 4, FIPI n = 5) (C) After I/R in vitro the amount of activated caspase3 in HL-1 cells is not altered after FIPI-treatment (n = 4). P < 0.05, ∗∗P < 0.01, ∗∗∗P < 0.001.
