Reendothelialization of injured carotid arteries is promoted by EPC transplantation and further enhanced by transplantation with EPCs overexpressing PDGFR-β. a Representative images of reendothelialization at days 4, 7, and 14 after wire-mediated carotid artery injury in the saline control, pEGFP-N2, and pEGFP-N2-PDGFR-β groups. b Quantification of Evans blue staining showed that PDGFR-β overexpression accelerated reendothelialization at days 7 and 14 after wire-mediated carotid artery injury, while no difference was observed at day 4. ** P < 0.01 vs. saline control group; #P < 0.05 vs. pEGFP-N2 group; ##P < 0.01 vs. pEGFP-N2 group (n = 8 per study group).
