The Treg/Th17 Imbalance in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnoea Syndrome
Figure 4
Spearman correlation of circulating cytokines and the frequences of Treg or Th17 cells in OSAS patients. (a) Ratios of RORγt/GAPDH mRNA positively correlate with Th17 percentage. (b) IL-17 concentrations positively correlate with Th17 percentage. (c) Ratios of Foxp3/GAPDH mRNA positively correlate with a proportion of Treg cells. (d) TGF- concentrations positively correlate with a proportion of Treg cell.
