Response of ex vivo mouse mesenteric arteries to transfection with RV-BPIFB4. (A,B) Graphs of vascular response to increasing doses of acetylcholine (ACh) or nitroglycerine in mouse mesenteric arteries before and after transfection with plasmids encoding WT-BPIFB4. (C,D) Graphs of vascular response to increasing doses of acetylcholine (ACh) or nitroglycerine in mouse mesenteric arteries before and after transfection with plasmids encoding RV-BPIFB4 (n = 7 for each experiment). *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01;***p < 0.001 (two-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni post hoc test). (E) left, Representative immunoblot of mesenteric artery lysate collected after vascular reactivity studies; right, Optical density measurements of immunoblottings. Columns are the mean ± SEM of 3 independent experiments. *p < 0.05 (one-way ANOVA analysis followed by Bonferroni post hoc test). Images were cropped using Adobe Photoshop, full-length blots are presented in Supplementary Fig. 2.
