Figure 1. Ube2s expression is upregulated after MI/R injury. (A) qRT-PCR analysis of the mRNA level of Ube2s in the heart from C57BL/6 mice following 12 h, 24 h and 48 h of MI/R injury. Samples from mice receiving sham surgery were used as controls. Each group includes 8 mice. The results were normalized to β-Actin and expressed as relative to sham group. Data are mean ± SD. Data were compared with sham group using one-way ANOVA analysis. **, P < 0.01. (B) Western blotting analysis of the protein level of Ube2s in the heart as described in (A). β-Actin was used as a loading control. The representative band images are presented (left). The analysis of the relative band intensity is also presented (right). Data are mean ± SD. Data were compared with sham group using one-way ANOVA analysis. **, P < 0.01. (C) Immunohistochemistry analysis of Ube2s expression in the heart from mice subjected to sham or MI/R injury for 24 h as descried in (A). The representative images are shown (left). The analysis of percentage of positive stained cells is also depicted (right). Scale bar, 50 μm. Data are mean ± SD. Data were compared with sham group using Student’s t-test. **, P < 0.01.
