Decreased Peripheral Blood ALKBH5 Correlates with Markers of Autoimmune Response in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Figure 6

Correlations between peripheral blood METTL3, WTAP, ALKBH5, FTO, and YTHDF2 and clinical symptoms of SLE. (a) The level of peripheral blood METTL3 in SLE patients with alopecia was significantly decreased than that in SLE patients without alopecia. (b) The level of peripheral blood WTAP in SLE patients with alopecia was significantly decreased than that in SLE patients without alopecia. (c) The levels of peripheral blood ALKBH5 in SLE patients with rash and ulceration were significantly increased than those in SLE patients without rash and ulceration, respectively. (d) No correlation was found between peripheral blood FTO and clinical symptoms of SLE. (e) No correlation was found between peripheral blood YTHDF2 and clinical symptoms of SLE.
