Blood vessels in the ischemic hind limb after treatment with CCN2. (a) von Willebrand factor (vWF)-positive capillaries (blood vessels) in myofibers of the ischemic hind limb in the control group (left) and the CCN2 group (right). The capillaries (stained in red) are indicated by white triangles. Original magnification, × 400; scale bar, 50 µm. (b) Change in density of vWF-positive capillaries per myofiber in the control group (n = 5; gray) and the CCN2 group (n = 5; light blue). The data are expressed as the mean ± standard error. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001; ****P < 0.0001. CCN2 cellular communication network factor 2, POD postoperative day.
