The concentrations of Wnt-3A, FZD-8, and DKK-1 proteins in urine of healthy individuals and SLE patients. (a) The concentration of urine Wnt-3A protein in healthy subjects and SLE patients. No statistical difference was determined between healthy individuals and SLE patients (left panel) and LN-SLE and non-LN-SLE patients as well (right panel). (b) The concentration of urine FZD-8 protein in healthy individuals and SLE patients. No statistical difference was determined between healthy individuals and SLE patients (left panel), but a moderately more abundant FZD-8 protein was found in the urine of LN-SLE patients compared with SLE patients without renal involvement (right panel, p < 0.05). (c) The concentration of urine DKK-1 protein in healthy individuals and SLE patients. A statistical difference was found between healthy individuals and SLE patients (left panel, p < 0.0001) but not between LN-SLE and non-LN-SLE patients (right panel, p = 0.2633). Bars indicate the average levels of indicated proteins in each group. Compared with respective healthy and non-LN groups, ∗p < 0.05, ∗∗p < 0.01  ∗∗∗p < 0.001. Data presents as the mean ± SD in each groups.
