(A) Western blot analysis of the protein expression of the fibroblast markers PDGFR-α, PDGFR-β, and α-SMA, and the mesenchymal marker CD45 in heart cells obtained from parental wild-type (WT) and Gpx-1 knockout (KO) animals. (B) Northern analysis of Gpx-1 expression in cardiac fibroblasts from parental (+) and Gpx-1 knockout (−) C57/Bl6 mice. Cells were passaged without (−/−; +/−) or with (−/+; +/+) supplemental sodium selenite (100 nM). The presence of exogenous selenium increased Gpx-1 mRNA expression by ≈ 3-fold.
