A. Atherosclerotic lesion in ApoE KO mice. a–c, the whole aorta stained with oil red O. d–f, cross-sectional section stained with hematoxylin–eosin. Magnification ×100. g–i: Cryostat section of aortic root stained with oil red O. Magnification ×40. a, d, g: ND group; b, e, h: HCD group; c, f, i: HCD+Irb group. B. Atherosclerotic lesion area in aortic root [B (1)] and the percentage of the lesion area/lumina [B (2)]. Each bar represents mean±SEM (n=8 per group). Irb, irbesartan 10mgkg−1 d−1. *P<0.01 vs. the ND group; #P<0.01 vs. the HCD group.

Expression of Rac and p47phox in the atherosclerotic aorta of ApoE KO mice. A: The mRNA levels of Rac and p47phox were assayed by quantitative real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction. Each bar represents mean±SEM (n=6 per group). B: The protein levels of p47phox in membrane extract and Rac-GTP were measured by western blots. B (1): The representative results of western blots of p47phox and Rac-GTP are shown. B (2): Densitometric measurements of p47phox and Rac-GTP from western blots. Each bar represents mean±SEM (n=3). Irb, irbesartan 10mgkg−1 d−1. *P<0.01 vs. the ND group; #P<0.01 vs. the HCD group.

Expression of TNF-α, IL-6, MCP-1 and VCAM-1 in the atherosclerotic aorta of ApoE KO mice. A: The mRNA levels for TNF-α, IL-6, MCP-1 and VCAM-1 were assayed by quantitative real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. Each bar represents mean±SEM (n=6 per group). B: The protein levels of TNF-α, IL-6, MCP-1 and VCAM-1 were measured by western blots. B (1): The representative results of western blots of TNF-α, IL-6, MCP-1 and VCAM-1 are shown. B (2): Densitometric measurements of TNF-α, IL-6, MCP-1 and VCAM-1 from western blots. Each bar represents mean±SEM (n=3). Irb, irbesartan 10 mg kg−1 d−1. *P<0.01 vs. the ND group; #P<0.01 vs. the HCD group; +P<0.05 vs. the ND group.
