TNF and IFN-γ receptors have increased expression in atherosclerosis compared to psoriasis. (a,b,c) RNAseq revealed mRNA expression of the IFN-γ is elevated in psoriasis and atherosclerotic lesions, however the IFN-γ receptors (IFNGR1, IFNGR2) TNF-α and the TNF-α receptors (TNF-RI and TNF-RII) are increased in atherosclerosis lesions compared to psoriasis, (data obtained from RNA seq and values shown as FPKM (Fragments per Kilobase of transcripts per Million mapped reads). (n = 6 lesional (PP), non-lesional (PN) and healthy (NN), n = 4 atherosclerotic (athero), n = 4 healthy vascular tissue (coronary), **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, two-tailed Student’s t-tests). (d) Immunohistochemistry staining of atherosclerotic lesions for IFNGR1, IFNGR2, TNF-RI and TNF-RII confirms protein expression. Data are shown as mean ± SEM with 95% CI.
