Changes in LTF expression in coronary atherosclerotic plaques. (A–C) HE staining of the left anterior descending branch of a human coronary artery (magnification, 10×), MOVAT, and Masson staining (magnification, 40×). (D and J) IHC analysis of LTF expression and its semi-quantitative analysis. (E and K) Immunoblotting detected the expression of LTF and its semi-quantitative analysis. (F–I) Quantitative analysis of necrotic core, plaque area, foam cell count, and collagen fiber content. (L) IF co-localization of LTF and CD68 in atherosclerotic plaques. **p < 0.01, and ***p < 0.001 (n = 4 or 6 samples each group).
