As for inflammation, ANRIL relative expression was positively associated with levels of hs-CRP (r=0.298, P=0.001; Figure 3A), ESR (r=0.185, P=0.038; Figure 3B), TNF-α (r=0.255, P=0.004; Figure 3C), and IL-6 (r=0.327, P<0.001; Figure 3E), while negatively correlated with IL-10 level (r=−0.237, P=0.008; Figure 3G) in CAD patients. The gene discussed is IL10; the disease is coronary artery disorder.
