Gene Expression Profile Reveals Abnormalities of Multiple Signaling Pathways in Mesenchymal Stem Cell Derived from Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Figure 7
The correlation of Id-1 mRNA expression with serum TNF- levels in SLE patients. (a, b) Id-1 mRNA level was not correlated with antinuclear antibodies (ANA) levels and SLE disease activity index (SLEDAI) score of SLE patients. (c) The serum level of TNF- in SLE patients () were higher than that of normal controls (). ** versus normal controls by Studentโs t-test. (d) Id-1 mRNA expression was reversely correlated with serum TNF- level of SLE patients (, ). SLE: systemic lupus erythematosus, Nor: normal controls.
