Figure 8. OPN antisense inhibited neointima formation in injured carotid arteries.

Figure 8

(A) Representative light micrographs of common carotid arteries from Veh-, sense-OPN, and antisense-OPN treated rats at day 28 after balloon injury. Arterial sections were stained with HE stain. (B) Effects of administration of antisense-OPN on neointima area and neointima/media ratio of injured carotid arteries in rats at 28 days after carotid artery balloon injury. The results are taken from 3 rats per group and represent 3 independently performed experiments. Data are shown as mean+SEM. $ P<0.05 vs. Veh group and sense-OPN. * P<0.05 vs. normal arterial adventitial layers. # P<0.05 vs. arterial adventitial layers at day 28 after balloon injury.
