From: Knockout of Eva1a leads to rapid development of heart failure by impairing autophagy
Effects of Eva1a deficiency on cardiac fibrosis. (a) Representative micrographs of picrosirius red-stained sections of the ventricle. Red areas represent collagen. Scale bar=2 mm or 50 μm. (b) Quantification of cardiac interstitial collagen content in picrosirius red-stained sections. Results are expressed as the ratio of collagen area to heart area (***P<0.001, n=4). (c–f) Analysis of fibrosis markers Ctgf (c), Collagen I (d), Collagen III (e), and Fibronectin (f) by qRT-PCR (*P<0.05, **P<0.01, n=6)
