Cxcr7 is upregulated concomitantly with ERK activation in the border zone of myocardial infarction. (a) Cxcr7 mRNA levels in infarcted murine hearts. The heart tissue was dissected into two portions: a remote zone (RZ) and a border zone (BZ). Replicate samples were derived from heart tissues of wild-type mice (n = 7). Data are shown as paired data points. Significance was calculated by a paired t-test; **P < 0.01. (b) Immunoblot analysis of pERK and tERK in the RZ and BZ of infarcted heart. The bar chart shows the mean pERK-to-tERK ratio normalized to the value in the RZ. Samples were from infarcted heart tissues of Ctl mice (n = 6). Data are shown as paired data points. Significance was calculated by a paired t-test. *P < 0.05. (c) Immunoblot analysis of pERK and tERK in the BZ in infarcted hearts of Ctl and CKO mice. (d) Quantitative data of the results in Fig. 4c. Ctl, n = 6; CKO, n = 4. Data are shown as the mean ± SEM. Significance was calculated by an unpaired t-test. *P < 0.05.
