Impaired muscle regeneration in Wfikkn2^tm1.1Sjl/Wfikkn2^tm1.1Sjl (Gasp1^-/-), Wfikkn1^tm1.1Sjl/Wfikkn1^tm1.1Sjl (Gasp2^-/-), and Wfikkn2^tm1.1Sjl/Wfikkn2^tm1.1Sjl Wfikkn1^tm1.1Sjl/Wfikkn1^tm1.1Sjl (Gasp1^-/-;Gasp2^-/-) mice after cardiotoxin (CTX) injury. Gastrocnemius muscles at various days after CTX injury were analyzed by H&E, von Kossa (to highlight calcified fibers), and Masson trichrome (to highlight areas of fibrosis) staining. Severe myofiber degeneration, accompanied by extensive calcifications, is observed in Gasp2^-/- and Gasp1^-/-; Gasp2^-/- mice as early as 3 d after injury, and extensive areas of fibrosis are seen in Gasp1^-/-, Gasp2^-/-, and Gasp1^-/-;Gasp2^-/- mice by 14 days after injury. These abnormalities persisted at 28 days after injury. Please note that the figure is a composite of images taken from representative stained sections prepared from the individual experimental groups as indicated.
