Fig. 3From: Sirt1 expression is associated with CD31 expression in blood cells from patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary diseaseCorrelation analysis between EPC related gene expressions in the blood samples from smokers. A strong positive correlation was seen between CD31 and Sirt1 mRNA (a), and a weak positive correlation was seen between CD31 mRNA and miR126-3p expression (b). A very weak positive correlation was seen between CD31 and CD34 mRNA expressions (c). There were no significant correlations between the expression of CD34 and Sirt1 mRNA (d), miR-34a (e), and miR-126-3p (f). Data are expressed as mean ± SDBack to article page
