The analyses of correlations among the percentages of different Breg subsets, plasma cytokine levels, and SLE clinical parameters in newly diagnosed SLE patients. (A,B) The correlation between the percentage of circulating IL-35+ Bregs and the SLEDAI score (A) or ESR level (B). (C,D) The correlation between the percentage of circulating IL-10+ Bregs and the SLEDAI score (C) or ESR level (D). (E,F) The correlation between the plasma IL-35 level and the SLEDAI score (E) or ESR level (F). (G) The correlation between the percentage of circulating CD5+ Bregs and the plasma IgA level. (E,F) The correlation between the plasma IL-10 level and the plasma C4 (E) or CRP (F) level. SLEDAI, SLE disease activity index; ESR, erythrocyte sedimentation rate; CRP, C-reactive protein. All P values < 0.05, as determined by the Spearman’s rank correlation test.
