Figure 5

Enhancing expression of specific transcription factors, especially GATA3 in Treg cells from asthmatic patients. (a) Representative examples of flow cytometry analysis of FOXP3 and GATA3 expression by CD4⁺CD25⁺ Treg cells in healthy and asthmatic subjects. (b, c). Frequencies of FOXP3 and GATA3 expressed in healthy and asthmatic subjects. (d) The ratio of FOXP3 and GATA3 expressed in healthy and asthmatic subjects. (e) The correlation of the percentage of CD4⁺CD25⁺GATA3⁺ Treg cells with FEV1%pred. The graph shows . , , and . NS: no significance.
