Characterization of VG remodeling of the JVs in which mature ECs were genetically labeled with YFP transplanted to the CAs of WT mice. (A) The percentages of SMA, YFP and SMA and YFP double positive cells in each major layer of VGs with mild NI formation (VG-M) (n=3). (B) The representative images of co-staining of YFP and SMA as well as co-staining of YFP and vWF in the cross-sections of VGs of VG-M. YFP is green; SMA and vWF are red. White dotted lines separate the NI and the Ad layers, green dotted lines indicate less hyperplasia side of VG and red dotted lines indicate more hyperplasia side of VG (C) Schematic presentation of transplantation of the reporter JVs grafted into the CAs of WT mice. Total number of VGs is 15 and 4 of them are VG-M. The abbreviations are described in Figures 1 and 2.
