Correlation among TGF-β1 concentrations, grades of BM fibrosis, and the percentage of HCs in the BM. The concentrations of active and latent TGF-β1 in BMP of HCL patients (n = 10) correlate significantly with grades of BM fibrosis (A and B) and with percentage of HCs in BM (C and D). Serum levels of PIIINP significantly correlate with grades of BM fibrosis (E) and with active TGF-β1 in BMP (F). The gray symbols represent the mean value of TGF-β1 in BM (A–D) and PIIINP in serum (E and F) of ten HDs.
