Caption Aortic root atherosclerosis. A) Representative trichrome-stained images of lesions in the aortic root and lesion area measurements. Left image: Apoetm1Unc/Apoetm1Unc (11betaHSD1+/+/ApoE-/-) aortic root. Right image: Apoetm1Unc/Apoetm1Unc Hsd11b1tm1Lex/Hsd11b1tm1Lex (11betaHSD1-/-/ApoE-/-) aortic root. Asterisks denote regions of acellular necrotic debris. Plot:Lesion area measurements from trichrome-stained images in Apoetm1Unc/Apoetm1Unc (n = 10) and Apoetm1Unc/Apoetm1Unc Hsd11b1tm1Lex/Hsd11b1tm1Lex (n = 9) male mice. B) Intraplaque necrotic areas. Left image: Apoetm1Unc/Apoetm1Unc aortic root plaque. Right image: Apoetm1Unc/Apoetm1Unc Hsd11b1tm1Lex/Hsd11b1tm1Lex aortic root plaque. Asterisks denote necrotic areas within lesions. Acellularity and features of crystalline clefts were used to demarcate necrotic regions. Plot: Necrotic core area measurements from trichrome-stained images in Apoetm1Unc/Apoetm1Unc (n = 10) and Apoetm1Unc/Apoetm1Unc Hsd11b1tm1Lex/Hsd11b1tm1Lex (n = 9) male mice. C) Macrophage staining via CD68 immunohistochemistry. Left image: Apoetm1Unc/Apoetm1Unc aortic root. Right image: Apoetm1Unc/Apoetm1Unc Hsd11b1tm1Lex/Hsd11b1tm1Lex aortic root. Arrows denote CD68 positive staining. Plot: CD68 positive stained area measurements in Apoetm1Unc/Apoetm1Unc (n - 10) and Apoetm1Unc/Apoetm1Unc Hsd11b1tm1Lex/Hsd11b1tm1Lex (n = 9) male mice. Significance vs. control: *p<= 0.05. Data are pooled from two independently run in vivo studies.
