Elevated Expression of the Long Noncoding RNA MAFTRR in Patients with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis

Figure 2

The comparison of MAF expression between the HT patients and healthy controls. (a) The relative expression of MAF mRNA in PBMCs from the HT patients and healthy controls was detected by qRT-PCR. (b) The relative expression of MAF mRNA in the thyroid glands of the HT patients and healthy controls was determined. (c) The relative expression of IFNG mRNA was determined in PBMCs from the HT patients and healthy controls. (d) The correlation between the transcript levels of MAFTRR and the transcript levels of IFNG in PBMCs from the HT patients is shown. (e) The correlation between the transcript levels of MAF and the transcript levels of IFNG in PBMCs from the HT patients was shown. Each data point represents an individual subject, and the horizontal lines show the mean. , . NS: no significance.
