Induced pluripotent SC-derived cardiomycocytes (iPS-CM) therapy reduces CM apoptosis. Apoptotic CMs were identified in sections from the IZ in the hearts from animals in the (A) induced pluripotent SC-derived cardiomycocytes (iPS-CM), (B) skeletal myoblast (SM), (C) mesnchymal stem cell, and (D) control groups by fluorescence immunolabeling of ssDNA (red). CMs were visualized by fluorescence immunolabeling cardiac troponin T (cTnT) (green); nuclei were counterstained with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) (blue). (i-iv) Representative ssDNA+ myocytes under high magnification in figure insets; denoted by arrowheads. E, CM apoptosis was quantified as the percent of cardiac troponin T (cTnT)-positive cells that were also positive for ssDNA (*P < 0.05). Scale bar, 50 μm.
