Figure 6. DAS28 positively correlated with plasma IL-22, IL-17 levels, and IL-22-producing Th cells in untreated RA, only with plasma IL-22 level in RA responders, and with plasma IL-22 level as well as the percentage of circulating Th22 cells in RA non-responders after treatment.

The correlation between DAS28 and the plasma IL-22 level (A), the plasma level of IL-17 level (B), the percentage of circulating Th22 cells (C), the percentage of circulating IL-22+Th1 cells (D), or the percentage of circulating IL-22+Th17 cells (E) in untreated RA; the correlation between the decrease of DAS28 and the decrease of the plasma level of IL-22 (F) in RA responders after treatment; the correlation between the DAS28 and the plasma level of IL-22 (G), the percentage of circulating Th22 cells (H) in RA non-responders after treatment were analyzed using Spearman’s rank correlation test.
