Figure Lengend Snippet: Western blot and immunohistochemistry of BAG3 ( A , B ) and Bcl-2 ( C , D ) in IR myocardium. BAG3 and Bcl-2 expression is significantly decreased in the STZ group than those in the CON group. The BAG3 and Bcl-2 expression is also significantly reduced in the IR CON and IR STZ groups as compared with the CON group. IR STZ hearts further depress BAG3 and Bcl-2 expression than IR CON hearts. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM ( n = 3) using the single values. * p < 0.05 vs. CON, a p < 0.05 vs. STZ, b p < 0.05 vs. IR CON.
Article Snippet: The expression of β-actin (#4970, 1:1000; Cell Signaling Technology, MA, USA), 4-HNE (bs-6313R, 1:1000; Bioss, MA, USA), BAG3 (NBP2-27398, 1:2000; Novus, CO, USA), Bcl-2 (bs-0032R, 1:1000; Bioss, MA, USA), caspase 3 (bs-0081R, 1:1000; Bioss, MA, USA), p-eNOS (ser1177, 1:1000; Cell Signaling Technology, MA, USA) and PARP (#9532, 1:1000; Cell Signaling Technology, MA, USA) from the damaged heart infarct areas after ischemia/reperfusion injury were evaluated by Western blotting as described before [ ].
