Previously differentiated VSMC contribute to early neointima formation. 5-week old male Myh11 creER(T2)-/+ mTmG-/+ mice were treated with tamoxifen (1 mg,IP) once a day for 5 days. Two weeks following the last tamoxifen injection the left carotid artery was ligated and tissues were harvested 14 days later. Expression of mTomato (red) and mEGFP (green) were visualized in sections obtained from 4 different mice. Nuclei were visualized by staining with DAPI (blue). All images are shown at the same magnification with the scale bar shown in the top left panel representing 50 μm.
