Downregulation of CD4+LAP+ and CD4+CD25+ Regulatory T Cells in Acute Coronary Syndromes

Figure 2

Circulating CD4+LAP+ and CD4+CD25+ T cells decreased in ACS. (a) The frequencies of CD4+LAP+ T cells were markedly lower in patients with STEAMI and NSTEACS than those in the control and SA groups. (b) The frequencies of CD4+CD25−LAP+ T cells were markedly lower in patients with STEAMI and NSTEACS than those in the control and SA groups. (c) The frequencies of CD4+CD25+ T cells were markedly lower in patients with STEAMI and NSTEACS than those in the control and SA groups. (d) The frequencies of CD4+CD25+LAP− T cells were markedly lower in patients with STEAMI and NSTEACS than those in the control and SA groups. ^∗∗𝑃<0.01 versus control and ^##𝑃<0.01 versus SA group.
