The depletion of circPostn attenuates cardiac remodeling in MI mice (Rzem et al., 2007). The left ventricular chamber of 3-day post-MI mice was injected with the lentiviral vector of control shRNA or circPostn shRNA. (A) The mRNA expression of collagen 1α1 and collagen 3α1 was measured by qPCR in mice. (B) The protein expression of collagen and α-SMA was tested by western blot analysis in mice. The results of western blot analysis were quantified by ImageJ software. (C) The protein expression of ANP and BNP was assessed by western blot analysis in mice. The results of western blot analysis were quantified by ImageJ software. (D) The protein expression of Bcl-2, Bax, cleaved caspase-3, and β-actin was assessed by western blot analysis in mice. The results of western blot analysis were quantified by ImageJ software. Data are presented as mean ± SD. Statistically significant differences were indicated: *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ##p < 0.01.
