AAC-induced CXCL1 expression in the aorta. (a) Real-time RT-PCR analysis of Cxcl1 gene expression in the aorta of sham and AAC mice 6 h post-operation. (b) Double-color immunofluorescence images of CXCL1 (red) and a-SMA (green) in the aortas of sham and AAC mice 6 h post-operation. Representative results from four individual animals in each group are shown. Original magnification, ×400 (scale: 25 mm). All values represent means ± SEM (n4–6). *p < 0.05, AAC versus sham.
