Gαq Regulates the Development of Rheumatoid Arthritis by Modulating Th1 Differentiation

Figure 1

Correlation of mRNA expression level of Gαq and IFN-γ. The mRNA expression of Gαq and IFN-γ was detected by real-time PCR. Relative (a) Gαq and (b) IFN-γ mRNA expression in PBMCs from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA; ) and healthy controls (HC; ). Bars show the mean and standard deviation (SD). value was determined by Mann–Whitney test. (c) The correlation between Gαq mRNA expression level and IFN-γ mRNA expression level in RA patients () was determined by using Spearman test.
