Figure 2. LINC00305 is upregulated in atherosclerosis and primarily expressed in monocytes.

Figure 2

(A) Quantitative RT-PCR analysis of LINC00305 levels in normal human carotid artery samples (Control, N = 9) and carotid atherosclerotic plaques (AS, N = 17). Beta-actin (ACTB) is used as the internal control. ***p < 0.001 vs. the indicated group. (B,C) Quantitative RT-PCR analysis of LINC00305 levels in (B) peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from atherosclerosis patients (AS, N = 7) or normal controls (Control, N = 9), and in (C) the atherogenesis-associated cell types including the monocytic THP-1 cells, HASMCs, HUVECs, and the magnetically enriched CD14+ monocytes from adult PBMC (N = 5) or umbilical cord blood (N = 4). The level of LINC00305 was normalized to the GAPDH internal control. **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 vs. the indicated group.
