Microscopic analysis of the effect of ICM aetiology on NFAT1 nuclear translocation in human cardiomyocytes.

<p>Representative fluorescence micrographs for NFAT1 in CNT (A–C) and ICM (D–F) samples. All the micrographs correspond to four independent experiments. The bar represents 10 µm. In micrograph G, Bar graph comparing the fluorescence intensity in cytoplasm and into nucleus of NFAT1, in CNT and ICM groups. The values from the cytoplasm were set to 100. The data are expressed as mean ± SEM of five experiments. ICM, ischemic cardiomyopathy; DCM, dilated cardiomyopathy; CNT, control. ***p<0.001 versus cytoplasm.
