Expressions of OPN, TNC and E-selectin in BA and other tissues. a represented the expression of OPN, TNC and E-selectin in BA measured by western blot. In sham group (n = 12), SAH group (n = 12), c and e showed elevated expression of OPN, TNC and E-selectin in other tissues and organs of the body. b, d and f were quantitative analysis of them. a and b showed that all of them had markedly increased in SMCs of spastic cerebral arteries compared with control animals. c and d described that TNC had a high expression in thoracic aorta and abdominal aorta. e and f showed that the level of OPN and E-selectin expression were significantly increased in brain tissue, spinal cord, kidney, pancreas, mesenteric artery and retina, on the other hand, E-selectin had a high expression in spleen. Data are the means ± SEM (n = 12). ^* P < 0.05 versus normal BA
