Evaluation of expression of smooth muscle alpha actins, vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM)1 and matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) in lesion site.

Abstract

<p>(A) Photomicrographs showing IHC staining for smooth muscle alpha actin (red), vascular cell adhesion molecule VCAM1(green) (scale bar: 100 μm and 12.5μm for magnified ones). (B) anti-SMC stained area. (C) Scatter plot showing means of anti-VCAM-1 stained area (N = 6). (D) Photomicrographs showing IHC staining for MMP9 (green) (scale bar: 100 μm and 12.5μm for magnified ones). (E) Scatter plot showing means of anti-MMP9 stained area (N = 6).</p
