From: Fractalkine (CX3CL1), GM-CSF and VEGF-a levels are reduced by statins in adult patients
Heat map plot of real-time PCR data of GM-CSF, fractalkine (CX3CL1), VCAM1, ICAM1, and VEGF-A in human endothelial cells stimulated with LDL cholesterol and TNFα. Expression of each transcript was determined and normalized to GAPDH expression. Levels of each transcript in untreated cells were arbitrarily set to zero. Data shown represent log 2-fold change in expression relative to untreated cells. Results are an average of three experimental replicates. Significant differences are noted in the Results section of the manuscript.
