From: The RIG-I pathway is involved in peripheral T cell lymphopenia in patients with dermatomyositis
Apoptosis of peripheral lymphocytes detected by flow cytometry. a The proportion of annexin V+/7-AAD−CD3+ cells and annexin V+/7-AAD+CD3+ cells increased significantly compared with that of the healthy control subjects. Representative graphs were shown. b The percentage of annexin V+/7AAD−CD3+ cells correlated negatively to peripheral lymphocyte count and T cell count in DM patients. Similarly, the percentage of annexin V+/7AAD+CD3+ cells correlated negatively to peripheral lymphocyte count and T cell count in DM patients. c The proportion of CD95+ cells increased significantly and the proportion of Bcl2+ cells decreased significantly compared with that of the healthy control subjects. The representative graphs were shown
