Analysis of the surface RAGE expression in coronary artery tissues. Representative western blot(A) and RT-PCR(B) for the detection of RAGE protein and mRNA in subjects with CAD and controls. Quantified expression levels of RAGE at (C) the protein and (D) the mRNA level in coronary artery tissues. *P<0.05 vs. control subjects. RAGE, receptor for advanced glycation end products; CAD, coronary artery disease.
