Comparative Expression Analyses of Pro- versus Anti-Inflammatory Mediators within Synovium of Patients with Joint Trauma, Osteoarthritis, and Rheumatoid Arthritis

Figure 2

Detection of FPR2 mRNA (a) and number of FPR2-IR cells (b and c) in patients with joint trauma (JT), osteoarthritis (OA), and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Quantification of FPR2 mRNA (a) and immunofluorescence positive cells (b) shows that FPR2 expression was more prominent in OA compared to RA, JT, OA. Relative to control, #relative to other groups (, one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s test). Data are shown as means ± SEM. (c) 5-LOX-IR cells are more abundant in RA synovium than in JT, OA, and control synovium. SEM. Bar = 20 μm.
