Decreased PERP Expression on Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells from Patient with Rheumatoid Arthritis Negatively Correlates with Disease Activity

Figure 3

Correlations of PERP mRNA expression on PBMCs in RA patients with DAS28 and RF. PERP mRNA transcripts negatively correlate with disease activity score (DAS28) (a) (𝑃<0.01) and rheumatoid factor (RF) (c) (𝑃<0.01). (b) The expression levels of PERP of PBMCs from healthy controls (HCs; 𝑛=40) and RA patients in different stages of disease activity determined by DAS28. 𝑃<0.05 deems significantly different.
