GSK3β inhibition accelerated functional re-endothelialization of EPCs in ApoE^−/− mice. (a) Re-endothelialization area of injured arteries was measured by even’s blue dye after 96 h after carotid denudation and EPCs transplantation. (b) The effect of GSK3β inhibition on the recovery of endothelial function was measured by endothelium-dependent vasodilation (EDVD). *P < 0.01, versus non-transfused group; # P < 0.05, $P < 0.01, versus WT group; n = 3.
