From: Cardiac expression of microRNA-7 is associated with adverse cardiac remodeling
Immunohistochemistry of cardiac sections and adult cardiomyocyte morphology—Heart sections from NTg and Tg were stained with H & E, and collagen deposition was assessed using Masson’s Trichrome or Picrosirius red as indicators of fibrosis (n = 4). (a) Upper panel—lower magnification of the transverse sections. Scale bar 1000 µm. (b) Lower panel—higher magnification. Scale bar 200 µm (n = 4). Adult cardiomyocytes isolated from NTg and Tg were used for measuring cellular morphology using Image Pro 10 (c) cardiomyocyte area (µm2), (d) cardiomyocytes morphology across measures of length and width (µm), (e) length and (f) width. *p < 0.001 vs. NTg (> 400 cells).
