Elevated Plasma IL-38 Concentrations in Patients with Acute ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction and Their Dynamics after Reperfusion Treatment

Figure 1

The IL-38 protein in plasma and IL-38 gene in PBMCs of STEMI patients. (a) Plasma IL-38 from STEMI patients. IL-38 protein was qualified by ELISA kit at different time-point. The statistical analysis is performed after ln transformation. (b) The IL-38 gene in PBMCs of STEMI patients. IL-38 gene expression was detected with RT-PCR at 24 h. STEMI: ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction; Control group: chest pain syndrome. Data are presented as mean ± SD. , , and versus Control.
