Increased Toll-Like Receptor 2 Expression in Peptidoglycan-Treated Blood Monocytes Is Associated with Insulin Resistance in Patients with Nondiabetic Rheumatoid Arthritis
Figure 6
Relationship between IL-6 concentration and TLR2 expression (calculated as percentage of CD14+ monocytes expressing TLR2) in monocytes after stimulation with 10 μg/mL of peptidoglycan in RA patients and normal controls (NC). (a) In RA patients, TLR2 expression was significantly correlated with IL-6 concentration (); (b) no correlation in normal controls ().
