NEU1 knockdown prevented cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis post-MI. (A) WGA staining and PSR staining of shNEU1 and shRNA in mice hearts 8 weeks post MI or sham (n = 12). (B) Statistical results of heart weight/body weight (HW/BW, n = 12). (C) Statistical results for the cross-sectional areas of myocytes (CSA, n =100 cells/sample, n = 6 per group). (D) Quantification of fibrotic areas in mice hearts 8 weeks post-MI. (E,F) RT-PCR analyses of fetal gene (Anp, Bnp, Myh7) and fibrotic markers (Col1a1, Col3a1, Ctgf) in each group (n = 6). *p < 0.05 vs. corresponding group. n.s., non-significant.
