The expression of GALNT4 in blood with acute coronary syndrome
Emerging evidences have linked GALNTs to cardiovascular disease or susceptibility to CAD.GALNT4, a member of the GalNAc-Ts family,contributes to the initiation of O-linked. Polymorphisms in GALNT4 have been linked with incidence of MI in an Irish population, probably that O-glycosylation of PSGL-1 by GalNAc-T4 may be important for many P-selectin mediated inflammation.However, there is few relevant studies about the expression of GALNT4 in patients with acute coronary syndrome.This study valuates the expression of GALNT4 in patients with acute coronary syndrome.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment

Blood is obtained into ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid(EDTA) tubes from all subjects via antecubital venepuncture and the total RNA was extracted from blood.Realtime PCR was performed to measure the expression of GALNT4.
