Expression of Gαq Is Decreased in Lymphocytes from Primary Sjögren’s Syndrome Patients and Related to Increased IL-17A Expression

Figure 4

Expression level of Gαq was negatively associated with IgG level. Association of Gαq mRNA expression with lymphocyte count in peripheral blood (a), urinary protein (b), level of hemoglobin (HB) (c), platelet (PLT) (d), complement 3 (C3) (e), C-reactive protein (CRP) (f), immunoglobulin G (IgG), titer of anti-SSA (h), and titer of anti-SSB (i). Significant negative association was found between Gαq mRNA expression and IgG level.
