From: Increased expression of NF-AT3 and NF-AT4 in the atria correlates with procollagen I carboxyl terminal peptide and TGF-β1 levels in serum of patients with atrial fibrillation

Figure 2

Immunohistochemistry for NF-AT4 (stained brown) in sections obtained from the CHD (right atrium), SR (right atrium), PaAF (right atrium), PaAF (left atrium), PeAF (right atrium), and PeAF (left atrium) groups. Nuclei are in blue. Elevated levels of NF-AT3 in the right and left atrial tissues were identified in the PeAF groups compared with the SR and CHD groups. Hypertrophic heart ventricle tissues were selected as a positive control, and negative controls were sections incubated with antibodies pre-absorbed with the NF-AT3 and NF-AT4 peptide. Magnification (×400). CHD, Congenital heart disease; NF-AT3, Nuclear factor of activated T cells 3; NF-AT4, Nuclear factor of activated T cells 4; PaAF, Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation; PeAF, Persistent atrial fibrillation; SR, Sinus rhythm.
