Pressure overload-induced pathological cardiac hypertrophy eventually leads to heart failure (HF). Unfortunately, lack of effective targeted therapies for HF remains a challenge in clinical management. Mixed-lineage leukemia 4 (MLL4) is a member of the SET family of histone methyltransferase enzymes, which possesses histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4)-specific methyltransferase activity.

Background: A mouse model of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) is widely used to study myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (I/RI). However, few studies focus on the direct comparison of the extent of pathological events resulting from variant durations of ischemia and reperfusion process.
Methods: A mouse model of I/RI was established by ligation and perfusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD), and the dynamic changes were recorded by electrocardiogram at different stages of I/R.
