Poly(I:C) mitigated aortic plaque-induced cell apoptosis triggered by P. gingivalis in APOE-/-mice. TUNEL staining was performed on the aortic root across various experimental groups (White scale:50 μm). The red fluorescence observed corresponds to cells undergoing apoptosis. DAPI, 40,6- diamidino-2-phenylindole; Poly (I:C), Polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid; P. gingivalis, P. gingivalis; PBS, Phosphate buffered saline; TUNEL, Terminal dUTP nick end labelling.
