Figure 2

Angiotensin II receptor type 1 protein expression in monocytes of systemic sclerosis patients correlates negatively with disease duration. Frequency of angiotensin II receptor type 1 (AT1R)-positive CD14+ monocytes shows a significant negative correlation with (A) the time since onset of Raynaud’s phenomenon (patients with reported onset of Raynaud’s phenomenon; n = 16) and (B) the time since onset of the first non-Raynaud’s symptom presenting the onset of the disease (patients with reported onset of the first non-Raynaud’s symptom; n = 16). Statistical analysis was done by Spearman’s correlation. *P < 0.05.
