Expression and distribution of HSP60 in blood vessel walls in AS and HFD mouse models.

Aortas were obtained for RNA preparation and real-time RT-PCR analyses were performed in the AS model (a) and HFD model (e). The data are expressed as the mean ± SD (n = 3). *p < 0.05 compared with the control diet group. The aortas were excised for immunohistochemical (b,f) and immunofluorescence staining (d,h). Arrows indicate staining of HSP60 in AS (b) and HFD (f) models. The HSP60-positivity of cells was quantified (c,g). *p<0.05 compared with control diet group.
