In Situ Cytokine Expression and Morphometric Evaluation of Total Collagen and Collagens Type I and Type III in Keloid Scars

Figure 3

(a) Number of mRNA relative copies for TGF-β present in biopsies of patients with keloid compared with that of patients in the control group (Mann–Whitney; ). (b) Number of mRNA relative copies for IFN-γ present in biopsies of patients with keloid compared with that of patients in the control group (Mann–Whitney; ). (c) Number of mRNA relative copies for IFN-γR1 present in biopsies of patients with keloid compared with that of patients in the control group (Mann–Whitney; ). (d) Number of mRNA relative copies for TNF-α present in biopsies of patients with keloid compared with that of patients in the control group (Mann–Whitney; ). (e) Number of mRNA relative copies for IL-10 present in patients with keloid biopsies compared to that in patients in the control group (Mann–Whitney; ). The horizontal line represents the median, the bar percentile of 25% to 75%, and the vertical line the percentile of 10 to 90%. indicates significant value.
