CD36 Is Significantly Correlated with Adipophilin in Human Carotid Lesions and Inversely Correlated with Plasma ApoAI
Figure 2
Comparison of gene/protein expression patterns between
OxLDL-treated (100 μg/mL, for 24 hours) and
PBS-treated PMA-differentiated THP-1 cells. (a) Real-time quantitative PCR showing gene expression levels for
CD36, SRA, adipophilin (ADFP), and IL-8. (b),
(c) Western-blot analysis of, respectively, CD36 and ADFP protein expression
levels. (d) IL-8 protein levels in
THP-1 culture supernatants assayed by ELISA. Treated and untreated cells are,
respectively, represented by plain and dotted bars. Bars represent the means ±
SE for 3 different experiments performed in duplicate. Wilcoxon matched pairs
test was used to determine significance. .
