Effect of εPKC on inflammation and cell proliferation in balloon injured carotid arteries. a IHC stain of CD 68 was performed in carotid sections 14 days after balloon injury with or without εPKC siRNA delivery. b Quantitative analysis of CD 68-posotive cells per 104 μm2. c IF staining of PCNA and α-SMA was performed in carotid sections 14 days after balloon injury with or without εPKC siRNA delivery. d Quantitative analysis of percentage of PCNA-positive cells in intima. Labeling of CD 68 and PCNA were significantly lower in εPKC siRNA delivered group than that in scramble siRNA delivered group. Bars represent mean ± SE. ** p < 0.01
