Expression of syndecan-4 in the heart is increased after T. cruzi infection. Heart sections of uninfected (a) and T. cruzi-infected mice, 30 (b), 90 (c) and 180 (d) days after infection were stained with anti-syndecan-4 antibody (green) and DAPI (blue) for nuclei, and observed by confocal microscopy. e, Quantification of syndecan-4+ blood vessels in heart sections. Data represent the mean ± SEM of 5–6 mice/group. f, Evaluation of cardiac Sdc4 gene expression by qRT-PCR. ** P < 0.01; *** P < 0.001 compared to other groups
