KL gene expression and epigenetic regulation in PBCCs of CVD and non-CVD subjects. (A) Relative gene expression levels of KL locus, (B) methylation levels of 11 CpG positions (red) in the − 648 and − 560 regions (bold) of KL gene promoter (lowercase “t” represents unmethylated cytosines after conversion with sodium bisulfite), (C) relative gene expression levels of DNMT1 and DNMT3A loci. a.u.: arbitrary units. Bars and range represent median and IQR (A and C) or mean and SEM (B). **: P < 0.01; ****: P < 0.0001.
