Fig. 7. MARCH5 promotes myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury and regulates mitochondrial fusion and fission in vivo.

Fig. 7

A The sh-MARCH5 or sh-NC was intraperitoneally administered 24 h before myocardial I/R injury (n = 6). Post-I/R injury, RNA was isolated and the expression of MARCH5 was determined by qRT-PCR and western blot. B, C The left panel shows representative images of heart tissues. The right panels show the infarct size (%), infarct area/left ventricle (INF/LV) and LVIDd (n = 6). D Representative TEM images of heart tissues and quantification of fragmented mitochondria (%) (Scale bar = 0.5 μm) (n = 6). E The levels of ROS, ATP and OCR were measured to evaluate mitochondrial function in H/R-treated cardiomyocytes, which were transfected with sh-MARCH5 or sh-NC. JC-1staining (2ug/ml) was used to analyze mitochondrial membrane potential (△Ψm) (n = 3). **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001.
