Upregulation of IL1B (A), NLRP3 (B), IL8 (C), FOSB (D), CD83 (E), SOCS3 (F), CXCL1 (G), and CXCL2 (H) in monocytes of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) (n = 43) were verified by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. Arbitrary unit of each mRNA was normalized to β-actin and relative to the healthy control (HC) samples (n = 22). Error bars indicate the standard error.
aP < .01 vs HC (IL1B, P < .001; NLRP3, P = .007; IL8, P = .002; FOSB, P = .009; and CXCL1, P = .002).
bP < .05 vs HC (CD83, P = .02; SOCS3, P = .01; and CXCL2, P = .01).
