Expression of mRNA. Expression of mRNA levels of tumor necrosis factor α (A, TNFα); interleukin 6 (B, IL-6); matrix metalloproteinase 1 (C, MMP-1); tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 (D, TIMP-1), brain natriuretic peptide (E, BNP) and vascular endothelial growth factor (F, VEGF) in the left ventricular myocardium as measured by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction in the rat left ventricular myocardium, 4 weeks after treatment. mRNA expressions were calculated via a standard curve and normalized to an endogen control. Data are given as the mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05 vs. Control group, **p < 0.01 vs. BM-MNC group, †p < 0.001 vs. Control group.
