2 Fig 1 The morphology and histology of the aneurysmic rat aorta with and without adenoviral tropoelastin green fluorescent protein (AdTE-GFP) treatment (A) aortic diameters (AD) measurements for rats perfused with elastase and treated with AdTE-GFP, empty adenovirus (AdNull), or phosphate buffered saline (PBS) (N equals 4/each experiment). (B) Frozen section of aneurysmal wall at day 3 after transfection with AdTE-GFP, visualized by fluorescence microscopy (original magnification ×200). (C) The same section shown in B but stained with HE stain (original magnification ×200). (D-I) Histological analysis of the aortic wall of rats after elastase perfusion and transfection with AdTE-GFP (D-G), or AdNull-GFP (H, I). The von Giesson stain for elastin is shown on the left and the GFP antibody stain is shown on the right. The VSMCs transfected with AdTE-GFP stained immunopositive (brown) with GFP antibody. The red arrowheads indicate the VSMCs in the medial layer transfected with AdTE-GFP and stained brown with GFP antibody.

4 Fig 2 The expression of tropoelastin (TE) has obviously increased after adenoviral tropoelastin green fluorescent protein (AdTE-GFP) treated: Real-time Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analyses were carried out for the transcriptional level of TE from the vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) transfected with AdTE-GFP, empty adenovirus (AdNull), or phosphate buffered saline (PBS) at 1 day, 3 days, and 5 days (A), and in rats treated with the same constructs at 2 weeks and 4 weeks (B). All measured data were normalized to β-actin by calculating a relative expression level defined as the ratio of expression of the target gene over the expression of the housekeeping gene (β-actin) in a given sample. N equals 3/experiment (VSMCs' experiment) and N equals 4/experiment (Rat's experiment). **P < .01; *P < .05; #P > .05.

5 Fig 3 The tropoelastin (TE) protein is expressed at vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) or rats after adenoviral tropoelastin green fluorescent protein (AdTE-GFP) treated. Immunoblot analysis of TE protein from the VSMCs transfected with AdTE-GFP, empty adenovirus (AdNull) or phosphate buffered saline (PBS) at 1 day, 3 days, and 5 days (A), and from rats treated with the same constructs at 2 weeks and 4 weeks (B). Euthanasia (E), AdTE-GFP; N, AdNull; (C) Control PBS. (C and D) showed the relative expression level of TE protein that defined as the ratio of integrated optical density (OD) of TE protein band over the integrated OD of β-actin band from the corresponding samples in (A and B), respectively. (E, F, G) The VSMCs expressing GFP were visualized by fluorescence microscope at day 1, 3, and 5 (original magnification ×400) after AdTE-GFP virus transfection. **P < .01; *P < .05.
