The effect of anti-IL-11 antibody (X203) treatment on post-endothelial injury injury-related plaque fibrosis. (A) MMP2 positive staining per injury-related plaque (N = 11/group, One-way ANOVA, Tukey’s multiple comparison test, Values ± SD). (B) Representative images of MMP2 immunofluorescence staining (green, scale bar 100 μm). Insets represent higher magnification of positive cells inside the restenosis plaque (scale bar 50 μm). Transparent red-lines were traced to delineate the injury-related plaque area used for quantifications. (C) Collagen content (blue) of the injury-related plaque (N = 11/group, One-way ANOVA, Tukey’s multiple comparison test Values ± SD). (D) Representative images of Gomori stain (collagen in blue, muscle in red, scale bar 50 μm). (E) Collagen content (blue) of right, uninjured carotid arteries (N = 12–14/group, One-way ANOVA, Tukey’s multiple comparison test Values ± SD). (F) Representative images of Gomori stain (collagen in blue, muscle in red, scale bar 50 μm).
