FGL2 mRNA expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). a
Column diagrams represent expression of FGL2 in the NC group, the UC group, and the CD group. The NC group (n = 24) contained 14 males and 10 females; the mean age was 40.3 years. The UC group (n = 27) contained 14 males and 13 females; the mean age was 46.1 years. The CD group (n = 28) contained 16 males and 12 females; the mean age was 36.9 years. b Expression of FGL2 mRNA in the NC group, the active UC group, and the inactive UC group. The active UC group (n = 16) contained 9 males and 7 females; the mean age was 50.8 years. The inactive UC group (n = 11) contained 5 males and 6 females; the mean age was 41.4 years. c Expression of FGL2 mRNA in the NC group, the active CD group, and the inactive CD group. The active CD group (n = 18) contained 10 males and 8 females; the mean age was 42.5 years. The inactive CD group (n = 10) contained 6 males and 4 females; the mean age was 31.3 years. Data are presented as mean ± SD. UC (A) active UC, UC (I), inactive UC, CD (A) active CD, CD (I) inactive CD. *Significance compared with NC (P < 0.050); §significance compared with patients with inactive disease (P < 0.050)
