Figure 7

Correlation between ADAM15 mRNA expression levels and vascular density in synovial tissues. Vascular density was determined by the morphometric analysis of the CD31-immunostained sections and correlation was examined by Spearman's rank correlation. Note a direct correlation between the parameters (r = 0.907, p < 0.001; n = 20). Open and closed circles indicate osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) synovial samples, respectively.
