Mouse eosinophil-associated-ribonuclease-1 exacerbates atherogenesis and arterial calcification in apoe−/− mice. Apoe−/− and Apoe−/− ΔdblGATA mice were fed with an atherosclerotic diet and administrated with recombinant mouse eosinophil-associated-ribonuclease-1 (5 μg/mouse/time) twice per week for 12 weeks. (A) Aortic root and (B) arch intima area. Scale: 500 μm. (C) Root and (D) arch α-actin+ smooth muscle cell contents. Scale: 200 μm. (E) Root and (F) arch Alizarin red-positive calcium deposition. Scale: 500 μm. (G) Root and (H) arch alkaline phosphatase activity-positive area. Scale: 500 μm. (I) Aortic root α-actin, osteocalcin, and nuclear Runt-related transcription factor-2 contents by immunofluorescence staining. Scale: 50 μm (top) and 25 μm (bottom). The results are expressed as mean ± standard error of mean of 10–11 (A–H) and 5 mice (I) per group.
