Pue treatment suppressed MMP-2 and AP-1 protein expression, and promoted p-Jun protein expression, in angII-induced abdominal aortic aneurysm in mice. (A) Western blotting was performed, and the results for (B) MMP-2, (C) AP-1 and (D) p-Jun were quantified by normalization to GAPDH. ##P<0.01 vs. sham group; *P<0.05, **P<0.01 vs. angII model group. Pue, puerarin; MMP-2, matrix metalloproteinase 2; AP-1, activator protein-1; p-Jun, phosphorylated Jun; angII, angiotensin II.
