Figure 3

Analysis of capillary density. Hearts of the sham group were relatively avascular. (A) Hearts transfected with rAAV-GFP and injected with physiological saline had greater capillary density, and vascular densities were highest in hearts transfected with rAAV-CD151. The arrows indicate the endothelial cells stained positive with vWF (1, sham; 2, AMI + saline; 3, AMI + rAAV-GFP; 4, AMI + rAAV-CD151). (B) Myocardial vessel density in ischemic zones of sham, AMI + saline, AMI + rAAV-GFP, and AMI + rAAV-CD151 groups. *P< 0. 05 vs. AMI + saline and AMI + rAAV-GFP. #P < 0. 05 vs. sham.
