IL-37 Expression in Patients with Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm and Its Role in the Necroptosis of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells

Figure 1

The suppression of IL-37 in human AAA. (a–c) In AAA, IL-37 was distributed in endothelial cells, macrophages, and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and mainly concentrated in VSMCs ( μm). (d) Macrophages infiltrate in AAA and fluorescence density analysis ( μm). (e) Decreased IL-37 content in AAA ( μm;  μm). (f) Histochemical analysis. (g) Immunoblotting observation of IL-37 expression in the vascular tissues. (h) Immunoblotting analysis. Values are presented as the . All experiments were repeated thrice, each time with . , , , and .
