Levels of Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9), transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), and platelet-derived growth factor-B (PDGF-B) and proteinuria in SLE patients with LN. Correlations between mRNA expression of TGF-β1 and PDGF-B (a; N LN = 38). Correlations between mRNA expression of TLR9 and TGF-β1 (b; N LN = 38). Correlations between mRNA expression of TLR9 and PDGF-B (c; N LN = 38). Correlations between protein levels of TGF-β1 and PDGF-B (d; N LN = 38). Correlations between protein levels of TGF-β1 and PDGF-B (d; N LN = 38). Correlations between protein levels of PDGF-B and urine protein (e; N LN = 38).
