MSC treatment reduces lesion development.
(a) Lesion size in the three valve area of the aortic root was determined; representative cross-sections stained with Oil-Red-O and hematoxylin are shown. (b) Macrophage content was determined by MOMA-2 staining as percentage of total lesion area. (c) Adventitial T cell numbers were determined by αCD3 staining. (d) Collagen content was determined by Masson’s Trichrome staining as percentage of total lesion area. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM and representative of all mice. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01.
