Mitochondrial transfer significantly suppresses the expression of apoptotic‐related genes in NRCMs after in vitro OS induction. (Recipient cells, NRCMs; Mitochondrial donor cells, H9c2 cells). A, Schematic representation of experimental procedure of in vitro OS model in NRCMs. B, Quantitative RT‐PCR analysis of apoptosis‐related gene expression in NRCMs in each condition. The expression levels individual mRNA transcripts were normalized to Gapdh expression level. Error bars indicate SE (n = 3). * indicates significant changes compared to untreated controls (P < .05). n.s. indicates no significant changes
