Fig. 2: Delivery of lentiviral ETV2 into MI hearts enhances the expression of pro-angiogenic genes but decreases the expression of genes involved in fibrosis and inflammation.

Heart tissues harvested 7 days after injection of lentiviral particles of ETV2-Ires-VENUS or control into MI hearts were subjected to qRT-PCR analyses. a ETV2 gene, b angiogenesis, c fibrosis, and d inflammation. The y-axis represents relative mRNA expression of target genes to GAPDH. A.U. indicates arbitrary units. *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01 compared to control group, n = 3
