Decreased PERP Expression on Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells from Patient with Rheumatoid Arthritis Negatively Correlates with Disease Activity

Figure 5

Correlations of PERP and IL-17 mRNA expression levels in RA patients. The mRNA expression levels of patients with RA ( ) were determined by real-time PCR. (a) The increased expression levels of PERP in patients with RA ( ). (b) There is a significant negative correlation between PERP and IL-17 mRNA expression levels ( ). deems significantly different.
