CD59 Underlines the Antiatherosclerotic Effects of C-Phycocyanin on Mice
Figure 6
Determination of cyclin D1 by fluoroimmunoassay. (a) The expression of cyclin D1 in four groups of mice (). The nuclei of positive cell emitted red fluorescent. Compared with control group, fluorescence intensity in smooth muscle cells of aorta was stronger than that in C-PC treatment group and CD59 transfection group. In C-PC+CD59 synergy group, fluorescence intensity was the weakest and most smooth muscle cells were negative. (A) Control group, (B) C-PC treatment group, (C) CD59 transfection group, and (D) C-PC+CD59 synergy group. (b) Comparison of grayscales in four groups. Grayscales reflect the fluorescence density. Compared with control group, the fluorescence density in C-PC or CD59 treated groups was increased. The differences were statistically significant (*). Moreover, the fluorescence density was further enhanced in C-PC+CD59 synergy group which had significant differences with control group (**).
