Figure 6. Cav-1 expression is dramatically reduced in proliferating ASMCs.

Figure 6

Immunocytochemical staining of Cav-1 in ASMCs obtained from WT mice using an in vitro wound assay (AD). (A) proliferating cells (white rectangle) proximal to the border of the scratch (yellow dotted line). (B) non-proliferating cells (red rectangle) distal to the border of the scratch. The proliferating and non-proliferating cells are presented in (C) and (D), respectively, at big magnification. Very few Cav-1 positive cells are observed among cells proliferating out into the cell-free area (A, C), whereas confluent, non-proliferating, cells show high Cav-1 immunoreactivity (B, D).
