Effect of USP38 cardiac-specific knockout on atrial fibrosis after MI. (A-C) Measurement of cardiac function (LVEF, LVDd, and LAD) in mice 7 days after MI (n = 8). (D) Representative images of Masson staining of the atrial 7 days after MI. (E) Quantitative analysis of atrial fibrosis (%) calculated from Masson staining (n = 6). (F-H) Representative Western blotting and statistical analysis of four groups of fibrosis-related proteins (collagen I and TGFβ1) in mice 7 days after MI (n = 4). *P < 0.05 vs. Sham group, #P < 0.05 vs. Flox-MI
