FAK/Pyk2 activity controls vascular inflammation in vivo mouse carotid ligation model. Ligated carotid arteries from 8-week-old ApoE−/− mice were harvested after fed a high fat diet (HFD) for 1 week with or without PF-271. Normal arteries from ApoE−/− mice fed with normal chow were used as control. (a) Sections were stained with VCAM-1 (red), vWF (green), and DAPI (blue). Scale bar (20 μm). (b) Macrophage infiltration was monitored with anti-CD68 (red) staining. Anti-α-SMA (green) and DAPI (blue) were used as counterstain. Scale bar (20 μm). (c) FAK activity was evaluated by staining anti-pY576/577 FAK (red). Anti-α-SMA (green) and DAPI (blue) were used as counterstain. Scale bar (20 μm). (d) Cropped images of immunoblotting of lung lysates of active FAK (pY397 FAK), total FAK, and β-actin as loading control are shown. Full length blots shown in Supplemental Fig. 14.
