Knocking out miR-22 reduces the apoptotic index of the myocardium after CLP and alleviates myocardial injury. (A) Representative images of TUNEL staining (myocardium); Scale bar = 50 μm. (B) Percentage of TUNEL-positive nuclei. (C) Representative Western blots. (D) Relative cleaved-caspase9 protein level ratio. (E) Relative cleaved-caspase3 protein level ratio. (F) Relative BAX protein level ratio. (G) Relative Bcl-2 protein level ratio. Data were expressed as mean ± SEM. P < 0.05 vs. sham group; P < 0.05 vs. CLP group; P < 0.05 vs. miR-22cKO sham group. (G) Representative images of TUNEL staining; Scale bar = 25 μm; (H) Percentage of TUNEL-positive nuclei. P < 0.05 vs. NC group; P < 0.05 vs. NC + LPS group; P < 0.05 vs. miR-22 inhibitor group. All the experiments were repeated three times.
