(a) Dectin-1 mRNA expression of human synovial tissue obtained from six nonrheumatic control individuals, 20 rheumatoid arthritis patients (RAs), and 10 osteoarthritis patients (OAs). Dectin-1 mRNA expression was analyzed with oligonucleotide array (Affymetrix system). Values represent computed expression values. (b) Confirmation of microarray data by qPCR. Data are based on four control samples, seven samples obtained from RA patients, and 6 samples from OA patients. Relative expression is depicted compared with expression of the housekeeping gene GAPDH. Data are expressed as mean ± SD; *P ≤ 0.05; n.s., not significant.
