Fig. 1. Up-regulated GPR97 expression in neutrophils correlates with the disease status of inflammatory disorders.

Fig. 1

a, b The immunohistochemical analyses of GPR97 expression in tissue sections of the early- a and late-stage b appendicitis. Reactivity of the anti-GPR97 mAb to GPR97 was shown as brownish staining. Scale bar, 100 μm. c The relative GPR97 staining intensities in tissue-infiltrating neutrophils of the early- (n = 11) and late-stage (n = 16) appendicitis tissues. Data are means ± SEM and p value was determined by one-sided unpaired student’s t-test. d Flow cytometry analyses of surface GPR97 levels of gated neutrophils of HC (n = 8) and bacterial sepsis patients (n = 5). Data are means ± SEM and p value was determined by two-sided unpaired student’s t-test. e, f Flow cytometry analyses of surface GPR97 levels of gated neutrophils of HC (n = 5 in e, 6 in f) and patients based on the disease category (GPA n = 8, MPA n = 6) e and status (remission n = 10, active n = 7) f. g The positive correlation of GPR97 levels with the ANCA titers of GPA (n = 8) and MPA (n = 6) patients. Data are means ± SEM and p value was determined by one-way ANOVA. HC healthy control, GPA granulomatosis with polyangiitis, MPA microscopic polyangiitis.
