A Immunofluorescent staining of aortic roots from CTR and HuRSMKO mice to determine TUNEL-positive VSMCs. Red puncta denotes TUNEL-positive cells. Green region denotes α-SMA. Scale bar = 20 μm. B Immunohistochemical staining of cleaved caspase-3 in aortic roots (n = 6). Scale bar = 50 μm. C Serum lipid profiles (total cholesterol [TC], triglycerides [TG], high-density lipoprotein cholesterol [HDL-C], and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol [LDL-C]) (n = 6). D Western blot analysis of cleaved caspase-3 in control and HuR-deficient SMCs (n = 5).
