Figure 2.

Relative mRNA expression levels of PCSK9 and apoptosis-associated genes (Bax, Bcl-2 and caspase-3) detected by reverse-transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction. All results are expressed as the mean ± standard error. *P<0.05 vs. respective ox-LDL; #P<0.05 vs. respective control. Ox-LDL, oxidized low-density lipoprotein; Bcl-2, B-cell lymphoma 2; Bax, Bcl-2 associated X, apoptosis regulator; PCSK9, proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9; T40, 40 µmol/l ticagrelor; T60, 60 µmol/l ticagrelor.
