Table 1 Expression profiling of coronary arteries.
Target tissue | Experimental treatment | Number of genes affected |
|---|---|---|
Intact coronary arteries [6] | Severe atherosclerosis versus non-atherosclerotic arterie | 56 |
Diffuse survey of several arteries [7] | Documentation of gene expression in atherosclerotic tissu | 75 |
Coronary plaques from patients with stable or unstable angina [8] | Ruptured plaque material | 5 |
Atherosclerotic plaque from human coronary arteries [9] | Specimens retrieved by novel helix cutter | 201 |
Human atherosclerotic plaque [10] | Specimens from ruptured plaque | Focus on perilipin; consistently upregulated |
