Figure 2From: The Histone Methyltransferase Mixed Lineage Leukemia (MLL) 3 May Play a Potential Role in Clinical Dilated CardiomyopathyPathologic and molecular properties of human DCM hearts. (A) H&E staining of left ventricles of donor hearts (n = 12) and DCM hearts (n = 15) (scale bar 50 µm). (B) Picrosirius red staining of left ventricles of human hearts (n = 12−15, scale bar 100 µm). (C) Real-time PCR detected the mRNA levels of heart failure biomarkers brain natriuretic peptide, atrial natriuretic peptide, β-myosin heavy chain and a-myosin heavy chain in human hearts (n = 4 per experimental group).Back to article page
