Myocardial infarction (MI)–induced damage to cardiomyocytes was alleviated with the enhancement of microRNA‐101 (miR‐101) or depletion of runt‐related transcription factor 1 (RUNX1). The MI rats used for following assays were injected with lentiviral vectors expressing empty vector, miR‐101 mimic, miR‐101 inhibitor, and/or small interfering RNA targeting RUNX1 (si‐RUNX1). A, Representative images of cardiomyocytes in sham‐operated and MI rats observed by hematoxylin‐eosin staining (×400). B, The quantitative surface areas of cardiomyocytes in sham‐operated and MI rats. The data were expressed as mean±SD and analyzed using ANOVA (n=20 in each group). *P<0.05 compared with the sham‐operated rats. # P<0.05 compared with the MI rats injected with empty vector. & P<0.05 compared with the MI rats injected with both miR‐101 inhibitor and si‐RUNX1. NC indicates negative control.
