2 Fig. 1 Uteroglobin protein detection by Western blot. Western blot detection of rat uteroglobin in protein extracts from arteries treated with (1) Ad.UG (1.35 × 1011 pfu/mL), (2) Ad.LacZ, (3) PBS vehicle, along with untreated rat aorta (Ao ) and rat lung. Equal amounts of protein (8 μg) were loaded onto each lane. The primary antibody was a rabbit antirat uteroglobin polyclonal. PBS, Phosphate-buffered saline.

3 Fig. 2 Morphometry results. Morphometry data from animals humanely killed 2 weeks after injury, expressed as I/M area ratio. Group treated with Ad.UG at 1.35 × 1011 pfu/mL had significantly lower I/M ratio than groups treated with PBS (P =.004) and Ad.LacZ (P =.002). Similarly, Ad.UG group at 0.68 × 1011 pfu/mL had significantly lower I/M ratio than PBS (P =.006) and Ad.LacZ (P =.003) controls. The two Ad.UG groups were not statistically different, nor were PBS and Ad.LacZ groups. Results shown as mean ± SEM and are significant at P <.008. I/M, Intima-media; PBS, phosphate-buffered saline.

4 Fig. 3 Representative carotid artery histology. Hematoxylin and eosin–stained cross sections of carotid arterial walls harvested 2 weeks after injury and treatment with PBS (A), Ad.LacZ (B), and Ad.UG at 1.35 × 1011 pfu/mL (C).
