Correlations among levels of Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9), transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), and platelet-derived growth factor-B (PDGF-B) in human peripheral blood. Correlations between protein levels of TGF-β1 and PDGF-B in healthy controls (a; N Control = 56) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients (b; N SLE = 79). Correlations between mRNA expression of TGF-β1 and PDGF-B in healthy controls (c; N Control = 46) and SLE patients (d; N SLE = 106). Correlations between TLR9 and TGF-β1 (e,f), or between TLR9 and PDGF-B (g,h). The mRNA expression of healthy controls (e,g; N Control = 46) and that of SLE patients (f,h; N SLE = 106). GAPDH glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase
