dnPAK1 inhibited arterial neointima formation after balloon injury. Representative sections (x40 magnification) are shown. 14 days after the injury, common carotid artery was stained and the area of neointima and media were quantified. The circumference of the lumen, the area encircled by internal elastic lamina (IEL), and the external elastic lamina (EEL) were measured. The medial area was calculated by subtracting the area defined by the IEL from the area defined by the EEL, and the intimal area calculated as the difference between the area inside the IEL and the luminal area using an automated computer-based image analyzer. Data are mean±SEM of sections from 4 rats. *p<0.05 compared to the GFP adenovirus-infected control.
