TGF-β1 content in serum samples from NDs and patients with CIN-1 and their correlation with the content of CD73 in their cervical samples. The content of TGF-β1 in serum samples derived from NDs and from CIN-1 patients positive for HPV-16, HPV-16+CI, and HPV-16neg is shown (a). Data are representative of three independent experiments, and the averages ± SEM are shown. ∗ indicates significant difference (P < 0.005) in the TGF-β1 concentration related to that of NDs. A positive (r) correlation between TGF-β1 and TED values of CD73 is shown for ND free of HPV infection (0.5764, P < 0.001) (b) and for CIN-1 patients (0.695, P < 0.001) (c). The contents of TGF-β1 and CD73 are indicated in samples from CIN-1 patients positive for HPV-16 (HPV-16, black diamonds), patients with coinfection with HPV-16 and other HPV types (HPV-16+CI, black and white diamonds), and CIN-1 patients negative for HPV-16 (HPV-16neg, white diamonds). TED: total expression density.
