Arginase-1 and Treg Profile Appear to Modulate Inflammatory Process in Patients with Chronic Gastritis: IL-33 May Be the Alarm Cytokine in H. pylori-Positive Patients

Figure 1

(a) Number of relative mRNA copies of ARG1 present in biopsies of patients with chronic active gastritis, chronic inactive gastritis, no gastritis, or the control group (Kruskal-Wallis; ); (b) number of relative mRNA copies of ARG1 present in biopsies of patients with or without H. pylori (Mann-Whitney; ); (c) number of relative mRNA copies of ARG2 present in biopsies of patients with chronic active gastritis, chronic inactive gastritis, no gastritis, or the control group (Kruskal-Wallis; ). (d) Number of relative mRNA copies of ARG2 present in biopsies of patients with or without H. pylori (Mann-Whitney; ); (e) number of relative mRNA copies of iNOS present in biopsies of patients with chronic active gastritis, chronic inactive gastritis, no gastritis, or the control group (Kruskal-Wallis; ); (f) number of relative mRNA copies of iNOS present in biopsies of patients with or without H. pylori (Mann-Whitney; ). The horizontal line represents the median, the bar percentile of 25%–75%, and the vertical line represents the percentile of 10%–90%. indicates significant value.
