Chemerin, PEDF, IL6 and their receptors expression in White Adipose Tissue (WAT) of obese RA patients with low-moderate disease activity and in obese OA. (A) IL6, RARRES2, and SERPINF1 expression and (B) CMKLR1 and IL6-R were determined in abdominal WAT from obese RA (n = 27) and obese OA (n = 10). Levels of target genes mRNA expression were determined, after normalization with GAPDH values, using the 2−ΔΔCT method. Horizontal lines indicate mean values with SD. RA, Rheumatoid Arthritis; OA, Osteoarthritis; LDA, Low disease activity (1.6 < DAS < 2.4); MDA, Moderate disease activity (2.4 < DAS < 3.7); IL6, Interleukin 6; RARRES2, retinoic acid receptor responder protein 2; CMKLR1, Chemokine like receptor 1; IL6-R, interleukin-6 receptor.
