A Myocardial tissue from SIRT2-WT and SIRT2-Flag-TG mice injected with saline or Ang II (1.4 mg/kg/d) for 4 weeks were used to detect the acetylation of CLYBL (*p < 0.05). B H&E (upper), Scale bar, 2 mm; WGA (centered), Scale bar, 20 μm; and Masson’s trichrome staining (lower), Scale bar, 20 μm. C Measurements of representative heart specimens. D Echocardiogram was used to assess cardiac function. E, F Ejection fraction and fractional shortening of SIRT2-Flag-TG and corresponding WT mice treated with saline or Ang II (***p < 0.001). G Expression levels of ANP and BNP were detected using western blotting (*p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001; ns, not significant). H Immunofluorescence was used to detect CD68 (CD68 red, DAPI blue; Scale bar, 100 μm). I qPCR was used to assess the relative levels of IL-6 and IL-1β (*p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ns, not significant).
