NtnloxP/loxP Lyz2 Cre+ mice have severe injury after myocardial IR surgery. (A) Experimental strategy for myocardial IR model. (B) Infarct sizes of Myosin Cre+ mice compared with Ntn1loxP/loxP Myosin Cre+ mice after IR surgery (n = 6 for Myosin Cre+, n = 5 for Ntn1loxP/loxP Myosin Cre+; two-tailed unpaired t test). (C) Representative infarct staining results of Myosin Cre+ mice and Ntn1loxP/loxP Myosin Cre+ mice. The infarct area is outlined by a green line, and the blue line marks the AAR (scale bar = 1 mm). (D) cTnI levels of Myosin Cre+ mice compared with Ntn1loxP/loxP Myosin Cre+ mice after surgery (n = 6 for Myosin Cre+, n = 5 for Ntn1loxP/loxP Myosin Cre+; Mann-Whitney test). (E) Infarct sizes of Lyz2 Cre+ mice compared with Ntn1loxP/loxP Lyz2 Cre+ mice after IR surgery (n = 5 for Lyz2 Cre+, n = 7 for Ntn1loxP/loxP Lyz2 Cre+; two-tailed unpaired t test). (F) Representative infarct staining results of Lyz2 Cre+ mice and Ntn1loxP/loxP Lyz2 Cre+ mice as described in C (scale bar = 1 mm). (G) cTnI levels of Lyz2 Cre+ mice compared with Ntn1loxP/loxP Lyz2 Cre+ mice after surgery (n = 5 for Lyz2 Cre+, n = 7 for Ntn1loxP/loxP Lyz2 Cre+; two-tailed unpaired t test). *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01.
