Fig. 5From: Integrated investigation of DNA methylation, gene expression and immune cell population revealed immune cell infiltration associated with atherosclerotic plaque formationVerification of genes deregulated at both expression and DNA methylation levels in atherosclerotic clinical samples. (A). Box plot showing the expression levels of 7 genes that were down-regulated in atherosclerotic PBMCs compared with those in carotid plaques samples. ***p value < 0.001, unpaired t-test. (B) The same with A but for three up-regulated genes in atherosclerotic PBMCs. (C) Bar plot showing the RT-qPCR results of 7 genes from (A) in PBMCs samples from normal individuals and atherosclerotic patients. ***p value < 0.001, unpaired t-test. (D) The same with C but for three genes from (B)Back to article page
