Figure 6From: CCR5 facilitates endothelial progenitor cell recruitment and promotes the stabilization of atherosclerotic plaques in ApoE−/− mice Hierarchical clustering analysis of pro-inflammatory factors. (A) The rows represent treatment groups, and the columns represent inflammatory factors. Red, black, and green colors indicate upregulation, unchanged expression, and downregulation compared with spike-in control. The color bars correspond to the relative expression level of inflammatory factors. (B, C) Fold changes were further analyzed for upregulation and downregulation of protein expression in (A). bFGF, basic fibroblast growth factor; EGFP, enhanced green fluorescent protein; G-CSF, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor; GM-CSF, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor; IFN-γ, interferon-gamma; IL, interleukin; MCP-1, monocyte chemoattractant protein 1; M-CSF, macrophage colony-stimulating factor; MIP-3α, macrophage inflammatory protein-3α; RANTES, regulated on activation, normal T cell expressed and secreted; TNF-α, tumor necrosis factor alpha; VEGF, vascular endothelial growth factor.Back to article page
