Figure 5. Plasma levels of IL-22 and IL-17 positively correlate with the percentage of circulating Th22 and total Th17 cells, respectively in RA responders while the plasma levels of IL-22 positively correlated with the percentage of circulating Th22 cells in RA non-responders.
The correlation between the plasma IL-22 level and the percentage of circulating Th22 cells (A), the percentage of circulating IL-22+Th1 cells (B), or the percentage of circulating IL-22+Th17 cells (C) the correlation between the plasma level of IL-17 and the percentage of total circulatingTh17 cells (D), the correlation between the plasma level of IFN-γ and the percentage of total circulating Th1 cells (E) in RA responders; the correlation between the plasma IL-22 level and the percentage of circulating Th22 cells (F), the percentage of circulating IL-22+Th1 cells (G), or the percentage of circulating IL-22+Th17 cells (H) the correlation between the plasma level of IL-17 and the percentage of total circulatingTh17 cells (I); the correlation between the plasma level of IFN-γ and the percentage of total circulating Th1 cells (J) in RA non-responders after treatment were analyzed using Spearman’s rank correlation test.
