Figure 4 (A) Representative examples of reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction amplification products of each group. 1, control; 2, stable angina; 3, unstable angina; 4, ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction; 5, unheralded myocardial infarction. (B) Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction amplification was normalized against glyseraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and is presented as mean corrected transcript levels ± SD in relative units (RU) of duplicate analysis of all patients in each group.*p < 0.002 vs. control, SA, and UH;  p < 0.05 vs. control patients. GAPDH = glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase; IFN = interferon; IL = interleukin; SA = stable angina pectoris; STAT = signal transducer and activator of transcription; STEMI = ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction; UA = unstable angina pectoris; UH = unheralded myocardial infarction.
