High expression of IP-10/CXCL10 and Mig/CXCL9 mRNA in thyroids of patients with recent-onset GD. A: High expression of IP-10/CXCL10 mRNA levels in the thyroid of patients with GD in comparison with patients with TA (P < 0.05) or normal thyroids (P < 0.01). B: High expression of Mig/CXCL9 mRNA levels in the thyroid of patients with GD in comparison with patients with TAs (P < 0.05) or normal thyroids (P < 0.005). The difference in the levels of both IP-10/CXCL10 and Mig/CXCL9 mRNA expression between normal thyroids and TAs, as determined by quantitative image analysis, was not significant. C: Significant differences in IP-10/CXCL10 and Mig/CXCL9 mRNA expression in GD-affected patients in relation to recent or late onset (P < 0.05 and P < 0.005 for IP-10/CXCL10 and Mig/CXCL9, respectively). Quantitative evaluation of IP-10/CXCL10 and Mig/CXCL9 mRNA was performed by means of a computerized video image analysis system. Results are expressed as medians and percentiles.
