Differential content of cPLA2 and AA in CEA plaque segments of diabetic subjects. A: Representative Western blot (WB) demonstrates higher cPLA2 abundance in the MAX and MIN diseased CEA segments of nondiabetic subjects. GAPDH is a loading control between lanes. B: Quantitative Western blot cPLA2 band intensity, normalized to GAPDH, demonstrated higher cPLA2 in MIN and MAX diseased segments of nondiabetic subjects (n = 5) compared with diabetic subjects (n = 6). C: Representative Western blot demonstrates no difference in iPLA2 abundance in the MAX and MIN diseased CEA segments of diabetic and nondiabetic subjects. D: Quantitative Western blot iPLA2 band intensity, normalized to GAPDH, demonstrates no difference in iPLA2 in MIN and MAX diseased segments of diabetic (n = 6) and nondiabetic subjects (n = 5). E: ELISA analysis of AA content in MAX and MIN diseased CEA segments demonstrates higher AA content in MIN segments in both diabetic (n = 7) and nondiabetic (n = 5) patients. Error bars = SEM, *P < 0.05 and ***P < 0.001.
