Imiquimod treatment alters epidermal thickening and differentiation and inflammatory factor infiltration. Back skin shaved in ETP-Tg, PLTP-Tg, and WT mice was exposed to IMQ cream. A–C HE staining of mouse back skin. D, E Histopathological score means ± standard deviations (SD). F–H PCNA protein immunohistochemical staining (back skin). I, J Calculation of PCNA-positive cell number within means±SDs from six typical high-power fields (HPF) from diverse mice. N = 6/group; * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01 vs. WT group; IMQ, imiquimod; PCNA, CETP, cholesteryl ester transfer protein; PLTP, phospholipid transfer protein; WT, wild type; Tg, transgenic
