Rab7 expression is increased in AD tissues. (A) Western blotting revealed the upregulation of Rab7 protein in 51 AD tissues compared with 14 NAD tissues. ***P<0.001 vs. CON. (B) Rab7 and osteopontin protein expression levels increased in 10 AD tissues compared with 3 NAD tissues. α-SMA expression levels were decreased in AD tissues compared with the control. (C and D) Representative immunohistochemical staining of Rab7 was stronger in AD samples compared with in NAD tissues. Scale bar, 100 µm. **P<0.01 vs. CON. α-SMA, α-smooth muscle actin; AD, aortic dissection; CON, control; NAD, non-aortic dissection.
