Abstract

PURPOSE: Coronary artery stenosis caused by atherogenesis is a major pathological link in coronary heart disease (CHD), which is a leading cause of global morbidity and mortality. Junctional adhesion molecule C (JAM-C) presents more and more association with atherosclerosis. However, no studies have shown the relationship between soluble JAM-C (sJAM-C) and the degree of coronary artery stenosis. This study aimed to analyze the effect of sJAM-C on coronary artery stenosis and to verify whether sJAM-C could be a biomarker for coronary artery stenosis.
