Histological analysis for aortic samples obtained on day 7 showed that rTMD123 treatment attenuates macrophage infiltration in the aortic wall (A) and apoptosis in the media (B) preceding AAA formation. (P=AAA-PBS, rTM=AAA-rTM. *P<0.05, ***P<0.001 compared with sham. #P<0.05, ###P<0.01 compared with AAA-PBS. L indicates lumen. All scale bars represent 100 μm. White arrows indicate examples of MOMA-1-positive, DAPI-stained macrophages. Red arrows indicate TUNEL-positive cells.)
