PXDN overexpression weakened the protective effect of AKG in vivo. A Typical images showing HE staining for aortic cross-sections (n = 6). Bars = 200 μm. B Typical images as well as IHC staining for CD68 in the indicated groups (n = 6). Scale bar = 50 μm. C TUNEL assay (n = 5). TUNEL, green; DAPI, blue. Scale bar = 50 μm. D The elastin and SM-22α expression were examined through WB assay (n = 4). *P < 0.05
