Figure Lengend Snippet: Ultrasound mediated gene transfection with Fuc-pPGC-1α-GVs regulates EC functions (A and B) Western blot evaluation of the reversal of H/R or I/R-induced overexpression of adhesion molecules in ECs by ultrasound mediated gene transfection with Fuc-pPGC-1α-GVs in vitro and in vivo . Protein bands were quantitatively analyzed by a histogram. (C) Immunostaining of leukocytes (CD45), neutrophils (MPO), macrophages (F4/80), and T cells (CD3) in renal tissues from different groups on day 2 post renal I/R (scale bars: 50 μm). CD45/MPO/F4/80/CD3 + cells were quantitatively analyzed by histogram. (D) Representative images of the wound healing assay (scale bars: 200 μm). (E) The capillaries of renal tissues with or without ultrasound mediated Fuc-pPGC-1α-GVs cavitation were counted by immunofluorescence with CD31 on day 7 post renal I/R (scale bars: 100 μm). CD31 + cell was quantitatively analyzed by histogram. Data are expressed as the mean ± SD (A and B: n = 3, n represents the number of independent experiments; C and E: n = 3, n represents the number of mice in each group). t test was utilized for statistical analysis (∗∗ p < 0.01, ∗∗∗ p < 0.001).
