Comparison of promoter methylation status of the five target genes between vascular endothelial and smooth muscle cells (five human umbilical vein endothelial cells [HUVEC], two human aortic endothelial cells [HAEC], and two human aortic smooth muscle cell [HASMC] cell lines, (a) between carotid endarterectomy (CEA) plaques and buffy coats (BC) of blood of 27 CEA patients (b), and monocytes (M), T cells (T), B cells (B), and buffy coats (BC) of blood of 37 ischemic stroke patients (c). *p < 0.01 on paired t test, **p < 0.01 on analysis of variance analysis
