The relevance of treatment with the expression of mRNAs for nuclear factor (NF)κB1 mRNA in bone marrow CD34+ cells. Total RNA was isolated from purified bone marrow CD34+ cells from 45 rheumatoid arthritis patients. The expression of mRNAs for NFκB1 and β-actin was evaluated by real-time quantitative PCR. The data are expressed as the ratio of the mRNA copy numbers to those of β-actin. Effect of treatment with methotrexate (MTX) or oral steroids (Steroid) was evaluated by Welch's t test. Horizontal lines indicate the mean values.
