HBD | AASV | PV | TP | RA | |
n | 22 | 25 | 10 | 11 | 10 |
C/EBP-α-mRNA | 0.23 | 0.83** | 0.08* | 0.07 | 0.22 |
C/EBP-β-mRNA | 0.35 | 3.35*** | 0.1** | 0.2 | 0.75 |
PU-1-mRNA | 0.85 | 1.5 | 0.3** | 0.24 | 0.35 |
All results are expressed as median fold change relative to Cyclophilin A.
P value<0.01,
p value<0.001, and
p value<0.0001, according to Mann-Whitney test and as compared to HBD.
HBD = healthy blood donors. AASV = ANCA-associated Systemic Vasculitis. PV = Polycythemia Vera. TP = renal transplant recipients. RA = Rheumatoid Arthritis.
