Effects of the LOX-1 rs1050283 polymorphism on LOX-1 expression in patients with ACI
(A) The difference in LOX-1 mRNA expression between different genotypes. Data are expressed as mean ± SD, n = 45 in each group. LOX-1 mRNA expression in PBMCs was determined by real-time PCR and expressed as ratio of the control. **P < 0.01 vs. CC genotype group. (B) The difference of LOX-1 protein expression between different genotypes. Data are expressed as mean ± SD, n = 45 in each group. LOX-1 protein expression in PBMCs was measured by Western blot and expressed as ratio of the control. **P < 0.01 vs. CC genotype group. TT: TT genotype, CT: CT genotype, and CC: CC genotype.
