Association of COX-2 protein expression with MPA formation in CAD patients. (A) MPA formation rate in different expression level of COX-2 protein; (B) expression level of COX-2 protein in different MPA formation rate; (C) correlation of COX-2 expression levels with MPA formation rate. ** indicates increased COX-2 or increased MPA groups vs. normal COX-2 or normal MPA groups, respectively; **, P<0.001. CAD, coronary artery disease; MPA, monocyte platelet aggregate; COX-2, cyclooxygenase-2.
