Figure Lengend Snippet: Analysis of destabilizing components in atherosclerotic plaque. (A) The expression of lipid deposition in aortic root plaques was detected by oil red O with a scale bar of 100 μm, immunofluorescence detection of CD68 expression (macrophage marker) and VEGF in aortic root plaques with a scale bar of 20 μm, and IHC detection of MMP-9 expression in aortic root plaques with a scale bar of 100 μm. (B–E) Statistical chart for quantitative analysis of oil red o staining, CD68, VEGF and MMP-9 in the aortic root plaques (n = 6, one-way ANOVA). (F) Immunofluorescence detection of BODIPY and VEGF expression in LCCA plaques with a scale bar of 100 μm. IHC detection of CD68 and MMP-9 expression in LLCCA plaques with a scale bar of 100 μm. (G–J) Statistical chart for quantitative analysis of BODIPY staining, VEGF, CD68 and MMP-9 in the LCCA plaques (n = 6, unpaired t -test). * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001, compared with CD group; # P < 0.05, ## P < 0.01, ### P < 0.001, compared with CD + PLCA group; && P < 0.01, &&& P < 0.001, compared to HFD group.
Article Snippet: After blocking, sections were incubated with a rabbit anti-human CD68 (1:100, bs-4819R, BIOSS, China), α-SMA (1:100, A1011, Abclonal, China) and mouse anti-human VEGF (1:100, TA500289, Origene, United States of America) antibodies overnight at 4°C.
