The histone neutralizing agent mCBS reduces infarct size in an ex vivo rat heart model of ischaemic and reperfusion injury (I/R). (A) Infarct size in hearts exposed to 45 min of global ischaemia followed by 2 h reperfusion, in the presence of vehicle or 100 μg/mL mCBS or pre-treated with ischaemic preconditioning (IPC). N = 6 hearts per treatment group. (B) The concentration of free histone H4 in the perfusate of rat hearts at the point of reperfusion after 45 min of ischaemia, measured by DELFIA. N = 6 (or 4 IPC) hearts per group. Statistical analyses by one-way ANOVA with Tukey post-test. *P < 0.05, ***P < 0.001.
