Compared with the control group, we found the differential expression of inflammatory genes, NF-κB signaling molecules and scavenger receptors in pristine (not yet stenosis or occlusion), stenosis, and occlusion arteries of atherosclerosis patients (Pa/Sa/Oa) or atherosclerosis with diabetes patients (Pd/Sd/Od) (Fig. 3A and B). Here, NFKB1 is linked to atherosclerosis.
