Intimal lesion formation was suppressed in MK-deficient mice, and exogenous MK caused its resumption. The results of hematoxylin and eosin staining of samples 14 days after ligation (b–e) and a control (a) are shown. (a) Control (without ligation); (b) wild-type mice (Mdk+/+); (c) MK-deficient mice (Mdk–/–); (d) Mdk–/– mice treated with saline; (e) Mdk–/– mice treated with MK protein. Arrowheads indicate the internal elastic lamina. Asterisks indicate intimal lesions. Bar, 100 μm.
