Effects of TACE gene silencing on MMP2 and MMP9 expression and activity in the abdominal aortic plaques of three groups of rabbits.
(A) Representative western blot showing of MMP2 expression; (B) Representative western blot showing of MMP9 expression; (C) Quantitative analysis of (A); (D) Quantitative analysis of (B); (E) Representative gelatin zymography showing MMP2 and MMP9 activities; (F) and (G) Quantitative analysis of (E). *P < 0.01 vs. Control group, # P < 0.01 vs. Mock group. All the gels have been run under the same experimental conditions. Black lines indicated the cropped gels and blots and full-length blots/gels were presented in Supplementary Fig. 6.
