Fig. 4: MBNL1-AS1 was highly expressed, but KCNMA1 and cGMP-PKG pathway-related factors were poorly expressed in mice with I/R injury after TKA.

a Relative mRNA expression of MBNL1-AS1, KCNMA1, PKGII, VASP, VEGF, Bax, and Bcl-2 in the skeletal muscle tissues of mice detected by RT-qPCR. b Protein bands observed after Western blot analysis. c Relative protein levels of KCNMA1, PKGII, VASP, p-PKGII, p-VASP, VEGF, Bax, and Bcl-2 in skeletal muscle tissues of mice evaluated by Western blot analysis. I/R ischemia-reperfusion, Sevo sevoflurane, MBNL1-AS1 muscleblind-like 1 antisense RNA 1, KCNMA1 potassium calcium-activated channel subfamily alpha 1, PKGII type II cyclic guanosine monophosphate-dependent protein kinase G, VASP vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein, VEGF vascular endothelial growth factor, Bcl-2 B-cell lymphoma/leukemia-2, Bax Bcl-2 associated X protein, GAPDH glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase; *p < 0.05 vs. the normal group; # p < 0.05 vs. the I/R group; n = 10; measurement data are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation. Comparisons among multiple groups were performed by one-way ANOVA; the experiment was repeated 3 times
