Decreased ALKBH5, FTO, and YTHDF2 in Peripheral Blood Are as Risk Factors for Rheumatoid Arthritis

Figure 4

Correlation of the mRNA expression of A-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase alkB homolog 5 (ALKBH5), fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO), and YT521-B homology domains 2 (YTHDF2) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with treatment. The mRNA expression of ALKBH5 (a) was significantly increased in RA patients that received regular treatment. The mRNA expression of FTO (b) and YTHDF2 (c) did not show any remarkable differences between pretreatment and posttreatment.
