qRT-PCR determinations indicating DNA damage in hearts after tamoxifen-induced activation of merCremer. (A) qRT-PCR assessments showing that Cre activation caused increased expression of a battery of genes encoding markers of DNA damage. Data are presented as fold changes relative to +/+ mice, normalized to Gapdh. The colored lines denote the expression of each gene in +/+;Myh6-merCremer hearts, relative to expression in +/+ wild-type controls at y=1 (dashed line), normalized to Gapdh. (B) Correlated TUNEL determinations. The inset shows a representative 600× TUNEL image; all TUNEL signals were nuclear (verified by DAPI staining). n=3 hearts per time point; *P<0.05 versus +/+.
