Effects of TACE gene silencing on neovascularization in the abdominal aortic plaques of three groups of rabbits.
(A–C) Representative immnofluorescence images showing CD31-marked neovessels in the Control group (A), Mock group (B) and TACE shRNA group (C); (D) Quantitative analysis of neovessel number of (A–C); (E–F) Representative western blots showing expression of Flt-1 and VEGF in three groups of rabbits; (G) Quantitative analysis of Flt-1 expression in (E); (H) Quantitative analysis of VEGF expression in (F). *P < 0.01 vs. Control group, # P < 0.01 vs. Mock group. Bar = 100 μm. All the gels have been run under the same experimental conditions. Black lines indicated the cropped blots and full-length blots were presented in Supplementary Fig. 6.
