IKKε deficiency diminished a ROS production and VSMC loss. (a) Representative in situ DHE staining of aortas from Apoe^−/− versus Apoe^−/−IKKε^−/− mice infused with saline or Ang II for 28 days. n = 4‐5, respectively, Quantification shown in the right panels. (b) TUNEL staining. (c) cleaved caspase-3 staining in aortic sections at 28 days post infusion. n = 4‐5, respectively. Quantification shown in the right panels. (d) α-SMA staining of aneurysmal aortic sections from mice. n = 4‐5, respectively. Quantification shown in the right panels. ^∗P < 0.05 vs. Apoe^−/−IKKε^−/− mice, ^∗∗P < 0.01 vs. Apoe^−/−IKKε^−/− mice.
