Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 7. Relative mRNA expression of cardiac β-1 AR, β-2 AR, GRK2, GRK3, ARRB1, and ARRB2 in DOX- and DOX+P -treated rats. Note a statistically significant increase of GRK2 and GRK3 mRNA levels in DOX-HCM rats, a statistically significant increase of β1-AR and β2-AR mRNA levels, and a statistically significant decrease of GRK2 and GRK3 mRNA levels in DOX+P-treated rats. Data represent the mean of at least 7 rats ± SEM.*p < 0.05; * *p < 0.01 vs. control group, †p < 0.05; ††p < 0.01 vs. DOX-HCM, #p < 0.05; ##p < 0.01 vs. DOX-DCM (One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparisons or Kruskal–Wallis ANOVA followed by Mann–Whitney U test for nonparametric data). β-AR, beta-adrenergic receptor; DCM, dilated cardiomyopathy; DOX, doxorubicin; HCM, hypertrophic cardiomy opathy; GRK, G protein-coupled receptor kinase; P, paroxetine.
Article Snippet: Immunohistochemistry was performed manually on the 5 μm-thick sections, according to the manufacturer’s instructions using the specific monoclonal antibodies against CD68 (DAKO, clone PG-M1, dilution 1:50) Leukocyte common antigen LCA IHC (DAKO, clone 2B11 +PD7/26, dilution 1:200), β1-AR (Elabscience®, ADRB1 polyclonal antibody, dilution 1:200), β2-AR (Elabscience®, ADRB2 polyclonal antibody, dilution 1:200), GRK2 (Elabscience®, GRK2 polyclonal antibody, dilution 1:300), and GRK3 (Elabscience®, GRK3 polyclonal antibody, dilution 1:300).
