Figure 6

(a) Representative immunohistochemistry staining of GATA3 in the synovium of osteoarthritis (OA) and RA patients. Positive cells per high-power field were compared between groups (n=17 OA patients and 14 RA patients). (b) Representative immunohistochemistry staining of EPX in the synovium of OA and RA patients. Positive cells per high-power field were compared between groups (n=12 OA patients and 12 RA patients). (c) IL-5 serum levels in healthy controls, autoantibody-positive individuals without RA, active and inactive RA patients (n>10 patients per group). (d) Serum EPX levels in healthy controls, autoantibody-positive individuals without RA, active and inactive RA patients (n>10 patients per group). (*P<0.05, **P<0.01 and ***P<0.001 determined by Student's t-test for single comparison (a,b) or analysis of variance test for multiple comparisons (c,d)).
