Elevation of vimentin in miR-144 KO mice is collocated with atherosclerotic plaques. Plasma vimentin was determined by ELISA (A) and Western blot (B). N = 10 for miR-144 KO mice and WT littermates, *p < 0.05 compared with WT littermates. Vimentin in the aortic root was visualized by immunostaining (C,D) in comparison with that adjacent tissue cuts stained with Oil Red-O (E,F). Each panel of picture is representative of data from 10 mice. The vimentin stains were quantified by Image J and summarized in panel (G) N = 10 for both miR-144 KO mice and WT littermates, #p < 0.01 compared with WT littermates. Scale bar in panel C, D, E, and F: 500 µm. Vim: vimentin.
