Lamin A/C-mediated reduction of Nav1.5 expression is confirmed in heart sections. a Immunostaining of paraffin-embedded heart sections from patients carrying the K219T mutation on Lamin A/C (bottom panels) and from two control subjects (top panels) targeting the Nav1.5 sodium channel (red); nuclei were stained with DAPI (scale bars: 10 μm). b Histogram showing the quantification of the red fluorescent signal shown in a, corresponding to the Nav1.5 protein, confirming reduced expression also in K219T-LMNA patient hearts. (a.u. is for arbitrary units). Data are relative to heart sections from three healthy controls (n = 11) and four mutant samples (n = 12). c PAT-ChIP analysis of heart sections from patients carrying the K219T mutation on LMNA (red bar) and from two control subjects (black bar), showing increased binding of Lamin A/C at the SCN5A promoter region in K219T-CMs. Chromatin was immunoprecipitated with an antibody against Lamin A/C and the resulting DNA was analysed by realtime PCR and presented as a percentage of input chromatin precipitated for the indicated region. All values are reported as means ± SD. *p < 0.05; ***p < 0.0001 (unpaired t-test)
