Figure 6

Angiotensin (Ang) II caused an increase in Mmp2 mRNA expression in aorta/perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) infiltrating pan (CD45+) immune cells. The infiltrating CD45+ immune cells isolated from aorta/perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) by fluorescence-activated cell sorting and the mRNA expression of Mmp2 and ribosomal protein S16 (Rps16) assessed by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR were determined in wild-type (WT) mice infused or not with Ang II for 14 days. Values are means ± SEM, number of sample per group: WT = 5 and WT + Ang II = 6. Data were analysed using an unpaired T test. *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.001 and vs. WT controls.
