MiR-150-5p was increased while Notch3 was decreased in AAA. (A). Real-time PCR analysis of miR-150-5p expression, and Western blot analysis of Notch3 expression in aortas in Cacl₂-induced rat AAA group and sham group, ∗∗p < 0.01 Vs. sham group. (B). Real-time PCR analysis of miR-150 expression, and Western blot analysis of Notch3 expression in aortas in elastase-induced AAA model and sham group, ∗∗p < 0.01 Vs. sham group. (C). Representative photomicrographs of Notch3 of immunostaining in Cacl₂-induced AAA group and sham group, scale bar, 50 μm. (D).
