UC-MSCs promote VSMC contractile phenotypic transition in the elastase perfusion AAA model. Representative images of immunofluorescence staining for DAPI (nuclei marker, blue) and SMA-α (green) (A), SM-22 (red) (B), and OPN (green) (C) with merged images in the aortic walls from three groups of animals on day 14; bar = 50 μm. Measurements of SMA-α (D), SM-22 (E), and OPN (F) per cross-section are shown for the three groups of animals. (G) The percentage of SMA-α/OPN and SM-22/OPN in the medial wall is shown; data were normalized to control group; n = 5, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, and ****P < 0.0001. Color images are available online.
