Comparison of the expression of genes related to different immune regulators in GSE100927. ns: p > 0.05, *p < = 0.05, **p ≤ 0.01, ***p ≤ 0.001, ****p ≤ 0.0001. 80 genes were detected in GSE100927. A–E were a set of comparisons between atheromatous plaques and healthy control: A box plot comparing the expression of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-related genes, B immune checkpoint-related genes, C IFN-γ pathway marker genes, D m6A methylation regulator-related genes, E circadian rhythm-related genes. F–J were a set of comparisons between atheromatous plaques in the ImmuneScoreH cluster with that in atheromatous plaques in the ImmuneScoreL cluster: F Box plot comparing the expression of HLA-related genes, G immune checkpoint-related genes, H IFN-γ pathway marker genes, I m6A methylation regulator-related genes, J circadian rhythm-related genes. K Summarized the consistent results between the two sets of comparisons (atheromatous plaques vs. healthy controls/ImmunceScoreH cluster vs. ImmunceScoreL cluster)
