Figure Lengend Snippet: Targeting specificity, cardiomyocyte anti‐apoptotic effects, and the ability to rescue damaged myocardium after treatment with a single dose of PL720 during the ischemic phase. a) The typical ex vivo NIR fluorescence images of hearts from sham, sham+PL720, and MI/R + PL720 groups post‐injection for 6 h. b) The mean fluorescence intensity was obtained from the heart regions of mice described in (a) ( n = 3). c) The CLSM image of the heart lesion 12 h after injection of DiI‐labeled PL720 for healthy (sham) and MI/R mice. d) Quantitative analysis of DiI fluorescence signal intensities in hearts in (c) ( n = 3). e) Representative images of TUNEL staining 2d after surgery to detect apoptotic nucleus (white arrows point to apoptotic cardiomyocytes). f) The number of TUNEL positive staining nucleus in (e) ( n = 3). g) WB of p‐AKT, AKT, BAX, and BCL‐2 protein. h) Quantification of p‐AKT/AKT levels ( n = 3). i) Quantification of BAX/BCL‐2 levels ( n = 3). j) Heart rates of mice in each group at different times (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 24 h) after the first injection of PBS, PNVs, L720, and PL720 ( n = 6). k) TTC staining images of mouse heart in each group to evaluate myocardial ischemia injury. l) TTC staining was quantified to determine infarct size ( n = 4). Results are reported as mean ± SD. Data were analyzed using one‐way ANOVA followed by a two‐tailed Student's t ‐test. ns indicates non‐significant ( p > 0.05). * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, and *** p < 0.001.
