Table 1.
Characteristics of the subjects.
Figure 1.
Heatmap of the supervised hierarchical clustering analysis on the expression profiles of the miRNA array analysis of 24 subjects. Subjects are labelled as either controls (green) or cases (blue) at the top of the figure (sample identification on x-axis). Names of the depicted 214 differentially expressed miRNAs (adjusted p<0.05) are listed in a separate table in the same order (see Data S1 online). The key colour bar indicates standardized miRNA expression levels (dark red indicates relatively lower expression; light yellow indicates relatively higher expression).
Figure 2.
Seven candidate miRNAs expression profiles of platelets from CAD patients and control subjects.
Left two bars of each figure represent average miRNA expression of the miRNA array cohort (12 controls and 12 patients). Validation by real-time PCR was performed on two independent cohorts (right four bars). Data are presented as mean±SEM and * indicates p<0.05 compared to healthy controls.
