Figure 5. PRCP and vascular injury and repair. (A) Representative photomicrographs of injured femoral arteries from WT (n = 40 arteries), PRCPgt/gt (n = 45), or combined PRCPgt/gt/MRP-14−/− (n = 23) mice stained for elastin 14 days after wire injury. (B) Quantitative morphometric analysis of intima:media area ratio in WT, PRCPgt/gt, and combined PRCPgt/gt/MRP-14−/− arteries. Data represent individual artery analysis for 23 to 45 animals per group. *P < .05, ***P < .001 on a 1-way analysis of variance. Representative immunohistochemical photomicrographs assessing leukocyte accumulation (CD45-positive cells [C]) and cellular proliferation (Ki67-positive cells [D]) 14 days after wire injury in WT, PRCPgt/gt, or combined PRCPgt/gt/MRP-14−/− mice. All images were obtained using a Leica DM 2000 microscope with a 40×/0.65 objective lens. The sizing bar included in each image indicates 50 μm.
