Figure 9. Key EC protein expression differs by sex and tissue of origin.

Figure 9

A, influence of both sex and tissue of origin on EC mRNA levels relative to the relative protein expression (B) of selected EC proteins for selected targets involved with endothelial cell functions. Aa and Ba, two proteins associated with barrier function, PECAM and VE‐CAD. Ab and Bb, NCAD and αvβ3, two proteins associated with EC/matrix interactions. Ac and Bc, two proteins associated with white blood cell/endothelial cell interactions, ICAM‐1 and VCAM‐1. A, the sample with the highest mRNA expression was set at 100% with the other samples compared to that level. B, the highest protein expression was set at 100%, with the other samples compared to that level. Notably, the patterns of protein expression also differ from the patterns of mRNA expression for the same targets.
