PSR staining and immunohistochemical staining for MMP2 and MMP9.
(a–e) Representative images of PSR staining (scale bar = 200 μm). (f–j) Representative images of immunostaining for MMP2 (scale bar = 50 μm). (k–o) Representative images of immunostaining for MMP9 (scale bar = 50 μm). (p) Quantification of the collagen-positive area of the vascular wall. (q) Quantification of MMP2-positive areas of the vascular wall. (r) Quantification of MMP9-positive areas of the vascular wall. Data are the mean ± s.e.m. Non-ruptured (n = 3), ruptured (n = 5). Values with different letters are significantly different (P < 0.05).
