Increased lipid-laden lesions and fibrotic caps in SENP2 S344A KI mice: SENP2 S344A KI and WT mice were injected with a single dose of rAAV8-mPCSK9 and fed a high fat diet (HFD) for 16 weeks (42). (A) En face Oil Red O staining was performed to quantify lipid abundance and distribution. (C) The bone marrow transplantation (BMT) procedure was conducted (58). (D) Representative PCR data demonstrate the success of the BMT. (E) En face Oil Red O staining was performed on the BMT-generated models. (G) Aortic valve leaflet sections were stained with Masson's trichrome to evaluate changes in the aortic valves. (B, F, H–K) The graphs present quantified data from samples (n = 7–10) (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, unpaired t-test). N.S. indicates non-significant.
