Figure 4From: Th17 cells favor inflammatory responses while inhibiting type I collagen deposition by dermal fibroblasts: differential effects in healthy and systemic sclerosis fibroblastsmRNA expression levels of IL-17RA and IL-17RC in HD and SSc fibroblasts. Bars represent the mean ± SD of the mRNA levels at basal conditions of IL-17RA and IL-17RC normalized to the geometric mean of two house-keeping genes (GADPH, EEF1A1) in eight HD, eight lSSc and six dSSc fibroblasts. Significant differences were assessed by t-test.dSSc: diffuse systemic sclerosis; EEF1A1: eukaryotic elongation factor 1 alpha 1; GADPH: glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate dehydrogenase; HD: healthy donors; IL: interleukin; lSSc: limited systemic sclerosis.Back to article page
