Expression of AIM2 in Rheumatoid Arthritis and Its Role on Fibroblast-Like Synoviocytes

Figure 3

scores of AIM2, ASC, and IL-1β were positively correlated with ESR and CRP. AIM2 demonstrated a positive correlation with ESR (, , 95% CI: 0.38-0.9) and CRP (, , 95% CI: 0.25-0.86) (a, e). The positive correlations between ASC and ESR (, , 95% CI: 0.16-0.74) as well as CRP (, , 95% CI: 0.05-0.69) were detected (b, f). The positive correlations between IL-1β and ESR (, , 95% CI: 0.31-0.81) and CRP (, , 95% CI: 0.05-0.67) were detected. The correlations between CASPSE-1 and ESR as well as CRP were not statistically significant () (c, d).
